Aliasing moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist) doesn't make sense, since anyone trying to use moon_pearl for the item is still just going to end up with the artist tag moon_pearl_(artist) anyway. It should either be a mass update, or disambiguated.

notice the second part of my reasoning, it's in there but that's just to transfer the tags temporarily.

Still would be better to do a mass update here, so you don't have to unalias it before disambiguating. It would take three steps the way you have it (alias moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist), unalias moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist), alias moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(disambiguation), all need to be done as separate BURs), but only two with a mass update (update moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist) and alias moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(disambiguation) as separate BURs).

edit: Oh wait I understand now. I was getting kind of thrown off by the unfamiliar terminology, thanks for the tip.

The first one still needs to be changed from alias moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist) to update moon_pearl -> moon_pearl_(artist). And the second one should also include category moon_pearl_(disambiguation) -> invalid.

Should be set now, thanks. I'm still pretty unfamiliar with BURs outside of low level usage. I didn't even know what update -> did.

That category moon_pearl -> invalid should be category moon_pearl_(disambiguation) -> invalid, since moon_pearl is being aliased away.

that's a woopsie, evidently I'm tired. Gonna fix that then go to sleep

Huh, why did it get rejected and why was the second part kept

This was a personal rejection, so... gotta ask Versp.

I was looking at old artist BURs, and this one was built really poorly.
