Does it take some time for it to apply, or something? Because, it does not seem to be in effect as of when I’m writing this.

@Background Pony #FDAD  
That’s odd. I’m in bed right now and not logged into the mod tools, but I’ll look into it tomorrow. Maybe there’s something wonky in the database causing the job to hang or something. Had one of those earlier, too.

@Brokedownandmadeone  
Is there a way to change tag wikatoria71 to nyota71? Because now my twitter and deviantart are still connected to wikatoria71 tag and I would like to get rid of it completely.

@nyota  
Oh, I’m not staff. I just made the tag so it’s easier for staff to alias. Derpy handles the artist aliasing.
 
EDIT: As for the “when”, they try to get to it as soon as they’re able.

@Brokedownandmadeone  
Oh, okay, I didn’t notice. Thanks :)

@Brokedownandmadeone  
In some ways, artist aliasing is a lot faster and easier on Philomena.
 
At the same time, artist aliasing is ending up taking a lot more time than it used to, mostly because we’re doing it right now.
 
Philomena has gotten rid of a lot of the slop that we used to live with, and now when doing an alias I need to fix anything that the BooruOnRails system would simply have thrown up its hands and said; “Okay, whatever”. But Philomena says; “Nope, that ain’t a thing” and I have to figure out what is going wrong.
 
Over time, I feel like I’m getting better at figuring out what is happening, or what needs to be cleaned up, but yesterday one alias took me almost two hours.
 
And I’m still (as much as I can) following the “First in first out” queuing process we’ve always used for reports.
 
I think what I might try is creating a queue of “These are not easy” alias requests, so I can take care of the easy stuff as fast as possible, and then handle the “Something’s wrong with these” ones as a back-burner process.
 
I’ll think about what that might look like … maybe a Trello page or something … or maybe a new “Only mods can post in it” thread for tracking artist tagging/aliasing issues/maybe bugs to get them out of this thread.
 
 
… I guess a better way of saying this is that Philomena does aliasing right. BooruOnRails was easier because in a lot of ways it was sloppier, but with Philomena we have to take the time to get things cleaned up BEFORE we try to alias them.
 
So, taking more time up front, but causing a LOT less problems on the back end.

I think artist:kellythedrawinguni and artist:mulberrytarthorse are the same person. Art style is extremely similar and YCH results of kellythedrawinguni are showing up on mulberrytarthorse’s tag.

Pretty sure one was meant for safe stuff and the other for NSFW/fetishes, although it’s true that the line has been blurred.

artist:imd -> artist:iimd  
DA

artist:sleepymomo -> artist:homumu  
The former is their FA account, which while dead, still exists art such as  
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8234476/  
which corresponds to >>59796 on Derpi, and  
https://www.deviantart.com/homumu/art/My-Little-Twilight-Can-t-Be-This-Cute-309647108  
on DA. Their DA account is still alive (or at least, not disabled completely), so please use the name of the latter.

artist:ponypeon -> artist:ponypron
 
IB “Previously known as ponypron.”

@Derpy Whooves  

 
Mild bump/reminder. Any leads?

@Background Pony #FDAD  
I’ve actually haven’t been able to get back to this thread yet today.
 
Other tasks on the site keep taking priority. Also I drew today so some of my hobby time went there.
 
But I’ll try to focus on this thread first tomorrow, and I’ll look at that one first.

artist:ev04kaa -> artist:ev04ka

artist:amity hsu => artist:amityhsu => artist:徐詩珮  
Youtube => NG => DB
 
 
artist:citiuwu => artist:citi  
DA => DB

artist:colorpaletpony -> artist:colorpalette-art
 
dA name change

artist:checkers → artist:asofterbucky

artist:artist:izzysugar_lock -> artist:brownie97
 
izzysugar_lock = Twitter name  
brownie97 = Deviantart name (scroll down to under the picture, there’s a bunch of links there)
 
Some places like to link to the twitter instead of the DA, making their art harder to find here.

artist:eta-carinae -> artist:starfusions
 
DA seems more active than FA.

@ChicaLuxArume  
I’ll send you a PM today to find out what you would like done and to discuss your options.

@Derpy Whooves  
sounds good

artist:drofox, artist:banaldoost -> artist:doost
 
Signs their pieces with the latter tag, FA mentions "Hi, Im Doost (even though my page says “Drofox”).”`, and links twitter
