Advance notice: I'm planning on mass-editing aoi_nishimata to nishimata_aoi soon, to match Danbooru and general convention.

Just a heads-up, since this will affect ~450 posts.

Peto? You should do naru_nanao while your doing your mass editing too.

Yea that was kinda strange..cuz japanese artist name /do/ follow the surname-name order. Also take a look at aoi_nanase nanase_aoi too..there should be around 30 posts to be renamed.

Yeah, I didn't want to re tag all of those so I made that alias for her. (a while back...)

While you're at it, you could remove any images tagged as Aoi that aren't (ie, stuff like Final Destination, I seem to recall various images tagged as hers when it's the anime version, kinda doesn't make sense really).

can I help you?

isn't it easier to just set an alias instead of doing a mass tag edit?

It is but it's a bit confusing since if you're looking at the alias in the post or at the alias. Lets use Aoi_Nanase for the example.

Aoi_Nanase gets 133 results with Nanase_Aoi gets 33. With the alias inplace you should be able to see both versions, correct?

Nanase_Aoi, Nanao_Naru, and Nishimata_Aoi are now set as aliases....hopefully nothing bugs up

mass edits don't really take any long, it's even faster than setting up an alias

Used it a few times and it worked fine

Mass edit only works if you've got mod privaleges though. If I click that link I just get a login screen because I'm only a regular user. Requesting a mass edit from a mod works though I suppose :)
