Isnt Jelomaus also an artist themselves?

It doesn't look like it. Every post on their profile, I have clicked on, was drawn by another person. And they have no commissioning information anywhere.

Huh. Well. Wild.

I'd recommend to just change the category to Invalid, rather than aliasing it away.
Looks to be a case of taggers not caring about the numerous character names and defaulting with the owner's name instead.

It's unlikely people are using "jelomaus" meaning their character Styx or Atlas or CJ or [...]. If people were trying to tag an ambiguous character name, I'd expect the posts to get styx_(disambiguation), atlas_(disambiguation), etc, not jelomaus as that's not the characters' names. Especially given it being in the Copyright category instead of Character, at least some people are using it to mean "one of Jelomaus' characters", and simply having it in the Invalid category won't stop people from continuing to use it that way. Worse, since it would be a disambiguation for a lot of characters, few people will know how or be inclined to correct it (and such tags shouldn't be removed without correcting it), letting it continue to act as a character owner tag just in a different category. Just changing it to Invalid won't fix much.
