'artist:unknown' should be aliased into 'artist needed'

artist:unknown => artist needed
 
Considering it seems to be used for pieces for which there is no artist (and all the things already aliased into artist needed).

No, “artist unknown” is for when the artist is know to be unknown, or wants to remain anonymous.

@saby  
That’s what anonymous artist is for.

@Solitude  
Ah my bad.

@saby  
‘S a’ight.

We also have artist:anonymous which should probably either be aliased into anonymous artist or the other way around, as, afaik, both have the exact same goal in mind.

I’ve always thought that “artist:anonymous” was used for random nameless artists from 4chan, and anonymous artist for artists who didn’t want their tag associated with a certain image.

@Mildgyth  
Well if that’s the case, it’s not very clear then. :P
 
Nor should there really be a distinction in my opinion, an anonymous artist is an anonymous artist, regardless of where they came from.
