The tag alias #57703 pukeytwink -> kitket has been approved.

Reason: kitket and pukeytwink are the same artist.

One can see this fact by checking the artist's Inkbunny, where they go by pukeytwink: scroll to the profile section, to the heading "Other Places to Find Me", where one can find a link to the artist's Furaffinity profile, which is named kitket.

I propose to make "kitket" the preferred name for this artist because nowadays it's the chief name the artist uses: the kitket FA profile was last used to post art on 2022-06-08, whereas their pukeytwink IB account was last used on 2015-04-15.

EDIT: The tag alias pukeytwink -> kitket (forum #336949) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

I would recommend changing the new tag to kitket_(artist) since kitket is only one letter off from the brand, KitKat.

KitKat has a whopping two posts. I find it incredibly unlikely that there will be any confusion here.

Still does not make KitKat an invalid tag.
On the other hand, there is also kit_kat as another artist tag which may need fixing.

Checked: Neither post was by an artist named Kit Kat. One had a character by that name, the other was by a Japanese artist (who deleted their pixiv) who went by the name Kooriyamaichi. Since their Pixiv was deleted, I couldn't check for any alternate names, but I suspect the tag only carried over from Paheal, where it's used in place of Feline Humanoid for characters who have the ears and arms/legs (There are two exceptions, but who even knows how monitored their tags are).

I’m not saying it’s invalid; it’s just that KitKat and kitket are sufficiently different so that, given how rarely these tags are used, nobody is likely to confuse the two, and so I think a suffix would be superfluous.
