https://e621.net/posts?tags=surun and https://e621.net/posts?tags=surun_%28jerichodragon%29 both tag the same character. Should I request an alias, or fixup the tags manually? I'd prefer to use

surun_(jerichodragon)

as the primary, since the character is not featured in many images, so there's less ambiguity. But the

surun

tag is older.

In general any 5-letter character name should be suffixed. You wouldn't believe some of the clashes that have popped up over the years - there's only so many pronounceable combinations of letters within that space.

Aliases take an unpredictable amount of time to be resolved, and the more niche the subject the less likely an admin will make time to look at them. There's only 4 posts in each tag, just fix them yourself.

Older tags like that with more general form, are likely just because someone updated them to less ambiguous form, but then forgot to get rid of the old one. Older, shorter ones are generally less desired, I guess you'd say?
