The tag alias #77147 skifchan -> skific has been approved.

Reason: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/skifchan/

skifchan is the artist's Fur Affinity URL handle, whereas skifik is her current FA handle and the signature used on her more recent works.

Old skifchan signature:

New skifik signature:

Since the artist has pieces with both signatures, it would be nice to alias her old name into the new, preferred one to make her more discoverable and not discourage users from uploading her work. Users seeing an empty tag when searching for an artist based on a signature may jump to the conclusion that the artist is DNP and not bother uploading. Additionally, finding results for both searches can help users find the original source of the art more easily through source fields on existing posts and artist wikis, especially if they are not familiar with reverse search utilities.
