Aliasing amun → erunroe
Link to alias

Reason:

Artist has changed name. https://www.furaffinity.net/user/amun/ says "MOVED TO erunroe ...". https://www.furaffinity.net/user/erunroe/ says "... Formerly known as Amun!"

Is it possible to make the change erunroe → erunroe_(artist) ? Their images are currently tagging (none) as artist, though it is their work.

More than a hundred tags, we can't manually fix this as generic users, but oridinarily you could go to the Tag Index (Found at the top of the page, the "Tags" link), searching for that tag, and hitting the edit button.

However, since it has too many images under it, only a staff member can currently change it.

The suffix _(artist) is bad, never do that unless an artist chooses to have a character with the exact same name as their artist tag.

Bumping to add that the tag has been fixed; it is now a proper artist tag!

Was probably a simple error involving aliasing an artist tag to a general tag. Contacted Ratte, they solved it no problem.
