The tag alias #59246 likey2018 -> likey has been approved.

Reason: uh messed up and put in likey2018, the twitter handle, instead of his actual artist name, Likey

EDIT: The tag alias likey2018 -> likey (forum #348460) has been approved by @slyroon.

Always helps to provide links for easier verification.

you can just change the artist tag manually, not sure there's really much of a reason to alias an artist that's only tagged on one post

The Likey Twitter, stating both name and Twitter handle. However, the likey tag is also used on a rather old post that needs a bit of tag work, and it's unclear whether it refers to the artist or a character. I'm thinking that removing likey from that picture would be acceptable as it appears to be a diminutive of one or two of the longer names tagged there.

I suppose an argument could be made that it's futureproofing against further tag goofs.

In the time since the request was made, another Likey2018 post was uploaded, so this isn't all that farfetched.

I removed the likey from that old post in favor of likewolf, which seems to be the name of the uploader's character. I don't know if this is the correct version of the name since, after 11 years, the backtrail has grown very cold, but it'll at least free up Likey.

Still, aliasing to likey_(artist) might still be the better course of action.
