The bulk update request #6151 is active.

create alias furuki_rakuko (9) -> baroque_(artist) (216)

Reason: So there were two requests here, this one and topic #19298. Both seem to have been overtaken by events. The tag koraku is currently categorised as a character, and has 0 posts besides. At the top of https://www.furaffinity.net/user/baroque/, the artist says, "My name is Koraku, an ethnic furry artist, you can still call me Baroque (previous name)."

The list of provided links breaks down as follows:

As for the name mentioned in this thread, the source of post #3447234 redirects to the current Twitter account, so "KorakuBaroque" is clearly preferred over "Furuki_Rakuko".

The Tumblr and DA accounts are long dead and the Telegram group is closed. That seems to leave "KorakuBaroque" with a narrow majority of actively maintained identities. Both the Twitter and Bluesky have "古洛" in their display names, with Twitter also showing "(Koraku)".

On top of all this, there is a character, koraku_(baroque), which seems to be the artist's fursona.

Given the accumulation of all the above - the potential for confusion, the inconsistent branding, the fact that they don't seem to have quite moved on from the "Baroque" name yet - I think the best that can be done is to at least merge all those posts tagged with the old Twitter name into the rest of the artist's work.

EDIT: The bulk update request #6151 (forum #385709) has been approved by @slyroon.
