This is just a question.
For bombergirl573 and mahjongfightgirl573, the official promotion accounts are registered as artists.
It feels strange to me that official accounts, rather than individual character designers or illustrators, are registered as artists.
Is this normal?
Usually no. Odds are someone made these entries mistakenly. We do have some art team tags (off the top of my head lasengle, colorful palette, another eden art team) but generally it's spelled out somewhere that it's not an individual artist.

Thank you very much. So, it’s indeed not something typically done.
Just to confirm, if the artist for official art is unknown, it’s generally left blank, right? Should it be done that way?
Or, as in the example given, should it be tagged as the official art team?
BUR #48575 has been approved by @Damian0358.
rename bombergirl573 -> bombergirl_official
rename mahjongfightgirl573 -> mahjong_fight_girl_official
I think at bare minimum it should be made explicitly clear these are from official accounts.
The bulk update request #48575 (forum #390434) has been approved by @Damian0358.

I think it's up to the discretion of the tagger. I only made a lasengle tag because of the ratio of credited art vs uncredited art on Fate specifically, but generally it's accepted as fine if the arttag count is 0 for official art since we sometimes may Never Know who the artist is.
I don't think official accounts should have art tags at all. If an official account is attached to a populated artist tag, uploaders will just tag that on the post and no one will look for the real artist even if it would be easy. Some official art is credited and it's better to have the real artist when we can. Otherwise, 0 arttags is fine. Unless there's an actual purpose to searching these "official team" tags?
