remove alias sallie_may_(samzan) (0) -> samzan_(modeler) (57)
remove alias loona_(samzan) (0) -> samzan_(modeler) (57)

Reason: These should be aliased to the character, not the modeler. Followup:

alias sallie_may_(samzan) -> sallie_may_(helluva_boss)
alias loona_(samzan) -> loona_(helluva_boss)

You don't need to mass update a->b if you're already aliasing a->b

I was downvoted before in another BUR because I didn't do that because why would I need to if it's already being aliased? It makes no sense to me but whatever.

They recommend mass updating [tag] to the [modeler], then aliasing to the [character]. The destinations of the mupdate and alias are different (and if you want to alias and mupdate them to different locations you definitely can't do that within the same BUR)

When in the BUR request page, there's the section titled Forum Topic. Put the topic number of the thread you want in that box. You can get the number by looking at the url
