Topic: An artist asked me to have their tag changed please help

Posted under General

Artist gayoshie wants to replace their tag Peterheat (or peter_heat?) with their current name

I have asked permission to upload art of theirs and after getting permission they also told me they want to change their tag on here

I think I saw the posts that have that tag, maybe still unsure but nothing is set in stone until a tag has 100 posts
So if you want to change the artist tag with a handful of posts you can just do it
Just be sure to edit the new artist tag accordingly in the tags tab

Is there a reason post #5933257 is tagged gayoshie_(artist) instead of just gayoshie? Is there something "gayoshie" could refer to other than the artist?

If you want to ensure any posts that get tagged peterheat or peter_heat in the future get tagged gayoshie instead (I'm assuming we want gayoshie and not gayoshie_(artist)?), you can create a new BUR https://e621.net/bulk_update_requests/new and put this in the script field:

alias peterheat -> gayoshie
alias peter_heat -> gayoshie
category gayoshie -> artist

then put 60141 (the number for this forum topic) in the "Forum topic" field. You can leave the "Title" field empty.

That being said, if we don't anticipate anyone tagging peterheat/peter_heat in the future, creating this BUR isn't really necessary, as it would be easier and faster to just manually move the 4 posts to the new tag.

I don't know I did that on impulse
