Skully is also the name of several characters, this might cause confusion.

Then changing default artist tag form skully to one from FA: skullysilverwolf or the one from twitter: skullydraws and leaving skully out all together? Or mass change artist skully tag into skully_(artist). I think I've seen few arists with common words as nicks like this. I don't know.

At the time I originally did this a year or two ago, a review of the 100+ images revealed that there were two images that overlapped and both were incorrectly tagged typos of "skull". No characters names were tagged this way at that point.

The artist explicitly requested that it be moved away from skullysilverwolf and skullydraws. I originally suggested skully_(artist) but without any overlap, it was a pointless suffix. I did not create an alias for skullydraws because it wasn't being used on the site at that point.

It doesn't appear that in the time since then there has been more than one or two instances of incorrect tagging and overlap. Without a problem to solve, I don't know why we would force them back onto an old alias they requested not to used anymore, or add a suffix to solve an overlap that hasn't happened.

There are a reasonable number of tags starting with skully* and they obviously don't hate the "SkullyDraws" name that much since it's their Twitter display name, which has no uniqueness requirement and could easily be "Skully" instead. Their channel on Telegram is also named "SkullyDraws Art and Announcements".

The only place they seem to be solely known as Skully (other than e621) is their Patreon display name, though it does say "SkullyDraws" in their image banner.
