Aliasing foxgear → foxgear_(disambiguation)
Link to alias

Reason:

Furson (FA username foxgear) doesn't have a character named Foxgear, his main character is named Gear. Also, FA user foxgear has other characters. (Currently foxgear tag is type character.)

Art links below from foxgear's FA gallery:
(including artist names to indicate no artist named Gear involved)

art (at FA) with "Gear" written on art:

1) Gear character sheet : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/3225915/ (art by eclipsewolf)

(EDiT: post #1646634 )

(rest sorted by upload date)

2) 3,165,597 "SlingGear" : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/3165597/ "... Art © jayhusky"

(EDIT: "Gear" character name written on art. FA description says "This is Gear in his Slinger form!". Tags say "GunSlinger" and "husky"
so is Gear as usual species, just with GunSlinger element (clothing & accessories).

3) 3,165,608 "Chibi SlingGear" : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/3165608/ "... Art © jayhusky"

("GEAR © FOXGEAR" written those two pieces of art made by jayhusky)

4) 4,280,119 "Battle Ready..Past Weapons Evolved! " : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4280119/ (art by Zohar)

5) 5,032,246 https://www.furaffinity.net/view/5032246/ "... Gear © Meh ...", art by cecil-sayataki

6) 5,032,278 "Chibi Kinzoku Senshi!!!" https://www.furaffinity.net/view/5032278/ , art by transik (who has "moved")

7) 5,043,230 R**P FAAAACE https://www.furaffinity.net/view/5043230/ (art by slushie-nyappy-paws)

8) 6,231,477 "Why Ello Thar" : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6231477/ (art by blynd)

9) 6,817,958 "Gear Badge~" : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6817958/ (art by radywolf)

10) 12,549,877 "Badge - Gear Husky" https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12549877/ (art by Riverbreak)

(In FA scraps folder:)
9) "Profile ID (Awesoooome <3) " : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/10182158/ (art by Ami)

(probably other uploads that i didn't notice)

EDIT: noticed https://www.furaffinity.net/user/foxgear/
includes "Personal Info
Name: Gear Senshi
... Species: Husky",
however I don't see Senshi included on any of the pieces of art
and doing FA search for "Gear" and "Senshi" results in only 42 matches,
compared with 1249 matches for "Foxgear".
I'm not disputing character's full name may be is Gear Senshi,
I'm just saying most uploads at FA will probably just link to FA:foxgear and not mention "Gear Senshi". (edit: and his model_sheet just says "Gear")

Other characters: (sorted with latest at top)

(the tricky one is Raeg, who apparently is a soul inside Gear who can take over and change Gear's appearance)

A) Aiyana New Character: Aiyana The Spirit Walker
"New character! ... Aiyana to me"

B) Mistral : Mistral: The Shadow Herald
"This is my new character Mistral. ..."

C) Lotus : New Character: Lotus
"Bought adoptable! Now is my new character! Lotus the otterdog! ... Lotus is to me"

D) Aurora : New Character: Aurora
"A character adoptable I bought awhile back! Her name is Aurora! ...
Aurora to me"

E) Raeg : Secondary Fursona-Raeg (uploaded to FA in 2011)

Disambiguate foxgear tag into tags such as Gear_(foxgear) ?

It also helps if you fill out the disambiguation page.

Is a disambiguation really necessary?

If foxgear is specifically the character, then posts should just be retagged with the proper gear_(foxgear) tag. Since the other characters aren't Foxgears the character, they would be tagged under their own names, perhaps with _(foxgear) if they have names the same as other characters or things (eg. aurora_(foxgear). Raeg would only be tagged as such when it's obvious the image was of him and not Gear, or the two characters would be tagged together if there's enough of Gear visible when Raeg manifests.

If the foxgear tag itself is a problem, it could conceivably just be aliased to gear_(foxgear) or just simply kept on top of by any user who wants to keep an eyeball on it.
