Topic: Artist & Character have the same name

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Lygris is my name as an artist, and the name of my fursona character. "lygris" already exists as my artist tag, but I'm only now considering uploading something of my sona.

What's the best way to go about it? Should I make the artist tag "lygris_(artist)" and character tag just "lygris"? Keep the artist tag just "lygris" and character tag "lygris_(character)"? Or both be "lygris_(artist)" and "lygris_(character)"? "lygris_(lygris)"?? 0.o

Both:
Name_(artist)
Name_(character)

So it's easier for taggers and users find one or another, you never know when your character will have fanart from another artist or something.

How you have them is up to you really, typically we like to keep artist tags as close to names as possible so the artist tag would be left unsuffixed while the character would get _(character) if the character name is exactly the same
