Make it so self_upload adds the uploader as an artist

I've noticed some self_uploads where the artist isn't specified.

Is it possible to make it so that self_upload automatically tags the uploader as the artist?

It could lead to accidental duplicates in cases where the artist has uploads elsewhere and an artist tag under a different name without their AIBooru profile as an artist URL. I'm not sure how likely that is though.

How about just name_(their_user_id)?

I mean if we already have them as an artist tag named john_doe and their AIBooru username is alan_smithee making a tag would lead to us having two artist tags for them.

I'm glad someone brought the subject of self upload related artist tags because I had wondered if there was a better naming convention to use for them since I've been making most of them.

Some are just the standalone name, others are xxx_(artist) while some others use a different name to their username (like a nickname or variation) altogether. Would name_(user_id) be preferable?

I'm not sure. Maybe?

For pixiv artists, I usually do name_(their_id), but I did wonder if that was bad and should be doing name_(user_pixiv_code) instead.

In the case of some names (like Yumi), the site considered it too generic so wouldn't let me make it, so had to do name_(their_id).

Unfortunately there's not many variables to choose from with the site, it seems. There's user_id and there's sitename, I guess.

I had considered the idea of proposing standardizing the names to user_name_(aibooru), but I don't really like the idea of making the site name the qualifier and no artist, to my knowledge, has ever been tagged as such. Most artists use and upload to more than one site, so I don't want to do something that breaks the current norms like that.

Then again most self uploads are direct file uploads and aren't linked to a site, so maybe it could be an exception.

For my part, I know that any xxx_(artist) tag I created was due to the username either being ambiguous (like god (artist) or anju (artist).) or generally generic (like anon_(artist) and hate_(artist).)

If it's considered fine as-is, that's fine with me. If a different qualifier is desired, that's fine with me too. I don't mind either way at this point, but I would like to know what the preference would be considered.

name_(aibooru) sounds good. At least to me, anyway.

I guess I could put it up for a vote and see.

These names are stupid.

They give the vibe of "this person came from AIBooru / their main focus is AIBooru" to me personally, so it feels off to me as well.

I regret approving this already. It is possible to just revert the changes?

They're just simple renames so you can rename them in the other direction.

Okay

All the changes have been undone. Sorry I approved that mess.

We could like we add tagme in code add and create the artist tag with the member username.

One problem I don't see a solution is aibooru members changing their username all the time.

Just rename the tag when it does happen, I guess? Name changes are recorded.
