You can make an artist tag as you upload by typing artist: and then the artist name (example: artist:Manitka)

Once the post has been made already instead just take the regular tag one. On the left side there is a question mark, click that to bring you to the tags wiki. Then up in the top right there is a “change tag type”
Click that and select artist from the dropdown menu.

if a tag is brand new (as in it was on zero posts) you can prefix it with artist: when adding it to a post.
if the tag is already populated you can change its tag category by clicking on the ? button next to tag on the tag list to go to the tag's wiki page, and from there clicking the "Edit Tag Type" button at the top of the page (or in the hamburger menu if you're on mobile) will bring you to a page where you can change the tag's category.
