The _(knotfunny) suffix seems unnecessary and should probably be removed.

I only include it as about half my accounts use that as my username, and figured it may be helpful in locating the correct tag if an artist posts a commission without being aware of my character's name but you're right it may be superfluous.

I agree that having the artist's name can be very helpful for finding the right character tag, so maybe you could add an alias;

alias oktober_(knotfunny) -> oktober_pride

In any case, the proposed rename should be using an alias instead of a mass update, so that the old name could not be used separately anymore.
If you want to make changes to your BUR, you may do so by going to BUR #13444 and clicking "Edit".

Fair enough, it's been forever since I was active on the forum and/or contributed to tag discussion and was mistaken on whether alias would be appropriate for character renaming. Will edit it with both of y'all's input
