The tag alias #78401 totty_(character) -> totty_(theycallhimcake) has been rejected.
Reason: Less vague, specifies whose character she is
EDIT: The tag alias totty_(character) -> totty_(theycallhimcake) (forum #459265) has been rejected by @HooLeeDally.

TheGreatWolfGang why the downvote? it states the tag owner (who happens to the be the artist) and as seen by olli_(braeburned) there is a precedent for such tag names

There is another character that shares the same name as "Totty", see totty_(tottypom).
In principle, we never alias an ambiguous character tag to a specific character tag.
It would be recommended that you either mass update the tags through a BUR or manually update the tag since it has a low post count.

Alright, should I just delete these two individual alias requests and make a new BUR for both of them?

i mean there is only one other totty and since it such a unique name I highly doubt someone going to mistag a post with a different character named totty

You may manually reject your current alias by going to alias #78401 and clicking on the "Reject" command.
Then, you can submit a new BUR with the command update totty_(character) -> totty_(theycallhimcake) to mass update the posts from the old tag to the new tag.

Alright, will do. Should I include alias plant_mom_(theycallhimcake) -> lili_(theycallhimcake) with it and reject the other alias request for the sake of antireduncancy?

the name Ollie alone has 2 pages of tags I really think that sets a precedent here
and olli has 9 tags

If it is a unique name, it wouldn't be sharing the same name with a second completely unrelated character.
Also, the naming convention for character tags dictate that a *_(character) or *_(character_owner) suffix would not be needed for unique names.
If anything, it should be called simply as totty instead of totty_(character) or totty_(theycallhimcake) if it is truly unique.

Many similar requests have been downvoted & rejected in the past before, but sure, we can give it some time for others to chime in as well.
Alright, bring discussion over to topic #58257

We typically allow that mistake to slide the first time someone does it, since the main point of suggesting the use of a BUR is to prevent multiple separate thread discussions from appearing.
In this case, since you have already created a new BUR for the character tags, you can reject the old alias requests so that nothing clashes.
