fixed, you had to change the type of tag going to tags section, finding your tag and then clicking "edit" to change the type

As PSA, this has been feature that should've never been in place to begin with and was disabled couple months ago. However because the amount of users explaining to do it this way, there are now bunch of users still explaining to do this when this has always been the wrong way (you should not use _(artist) unless the artist name can be confused) and now on top of that it doesn't even work.

There's two correct ways, first is what ajk said, where you tag normally and change the tag type afterwards (you can find that tags section from top panel).

Second is artist: prefix, however because of so many cleanup projects of misuse of this this will only work if the tag is unused or if you are privileged+ status.
