Topic: Tag alias: folsky -> meanxtreamx3

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

As said in the other thread (in the future, you should create a BUR for multiple related aliases and implications), if his signature is Folsky, that should be the artist tag. FA doesn't allow changing names, so it's best to not assume their FA name is their preferred name.

I tried creating a BUR request but it doesn't seem to be allowed. I used this as script and got these errors:
alias meanxtreamx3 -> folsky # duplicate of has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through BUR
alias folsky_(artist) -> folsky # Error: Antecedent name has already been taken (create alias folsky_(artist) -> folsky)

Those errors are because your current two alias requests are gumming up the works. Your intended BUR is reversing one alias request and trying to get the other to alias to two tags at once, one of which is to be aliased away. In order for someone to make this BUR, an admin will have to reject these alias requests first.

Yes, it's irritating and frustrating for all of us, so none of us can really blame you for feeling so there. Adjustments will have to come from the programming side and, considering the high skill and competency of the programmers, it's apparently not a task that can just be dashed out in a weekend.

Addendum~ Dang tablet. People might think I was insulting staff when I wasn't. >:(

Alright, I don't mind, I was just trying to follow what was said. So then I suppose this will be manually addressed when an admin sees this.
