Krabby aliases

BUR #18120 has been rejected.

create alias krabby_(artist) -> krabby_(krabbytheartist)
rename krabby_(pokemon) -> krabby

This didn't need disambiguification. Since the artist in question uses the exact same handle for seven different sites, we can just use that as their qualifier - nobody is going to confuse them with a character from the single biggest franchise on the planet. Qualifying long-established characters just because some artist decided to name themselves after one is a poor practise to lend credence to.

We shouldn't be deciding whether two tags may be ambiguous or not based on some arbitrary measure of popularity of one of the tags in question, even if the franchise is as large as Pokemon's is.

If an artist comes along and names themselves "charizard", does that mean we then have to then alias charizard to charizard_(pokemon) when their art gets uploaded? How absurd. A BUR trying to qualify squirtle because of the existence of squirtle_e would never be approved. There's also pikachu vs pikanchu, but if I really need to defend that one then I don't know what to say.

This site has for a very long time been arbitrary with qualifiers; in topic #22733 chen was not qualified despite being an incredibly common name and even having its own identical scenario with chen_(artist). Meanwhile, aside from this one Krabby artist there is not a single other tag that on the site that even contains the text "krabby".

Actually, scratch all that. I just assumed that the artist must be using "krabby" as their display name since it would be ridiculous to shorten the full name that an artist uses when the only result is pointless tag ambiguity. However, apparently even that was a dangerous assumption because after further investigation it turns out this artist's handle AND display name are both "krabbytheartist" on Pixiv, Instagram, Twitter, and Newgrounds, at which point I stopped checking.

This should make it unambiguous enough even if you disagree with the logic of the previous BUR.
