A friend uploaded all of my NSFW art to e6, but he used my SFW tag!

Is there a way I can change my artist tag from Virgobiologist to Virg925 ?

I would also like to do the same for any character tags that are attached to the old name!

if you want to alias the tags together (make both names lead to the same tag but only display one in the list) you can request an alias for handling a single tag, or a BUR for multiple at once.


if you just want to remove/replace the tags from individual posts:

press the edit button below the image, in the box labled "tags" remove the delete the tag you want removed and replace it (artist tags should be at the top, if it's in the correct category).

when adding a tag for the first time (creating a new tag) prefixing it with stuff like artist: or character: (like character:name_(owner)) will place the new tag in that category.
if the tag already exists and you want to change the category, you can click the ? next to the tag in the list, and on that page there's an Edit Tag Type button in the top menu that will allow you to modify the category.

building on this, if you want to quickly do this for many posts, search the tag you want to replace. when the page loads, under the search bar, change the mode from view to edit, the background should turn yellowish. then you can click on each individual post, a text box with all the tags will appear. type -[tag you want to remove] [tag you want to add], in your case it would seem to be -Virgobiologist Virg925 if you paste that into the tags box and hit submit, it will remove the Virgobiologist tag and add the tag Virg925. much faster than going to each individual post page and editing there
