Description stefan.mueller.83 2017-10-28 21:07:56 UTC 
It's seems not possible to bulk change the person tag of recognized faces easily and confirm all of them.
Currently I mark several pics. On Pictures with wrong tag, I try to hoover the mouse properly above a thumbnail and hope that the person tag field appears. Than I type in the name and press enter. That is more fiddling around with the pics than a quick and easy confirmation of recognized faces, as they disappear immediately. 
As digiKam takes a moment to refresh the collection and thumbnails moving up and down until all changed photos disappear I've already confirmed some other face tags accidentally although the tag is wrong.

Is there any possibility to e.g. select faces via the context menu and get them confirm in the same instant, adding person tag doesn't work that way.
May you can even add a timer what shows up in the process bar what will auto refresh if some users prefer to see all happening automatically.

It is possible to display the facial markers permanently, either via the right context menu or via the overlay button in the image. Then you can change the face marker by clicking on the label. Before questions arise, in this overlay popup all tags are displayed, not just people. Manually it would also be possible to tag dogs and cats.

the right context menu:
I tested it with 'AnotherTestUser' but isn't working. Digikam only adds the 'AnotherTestUser' as a tag, see attachments: 
- right context menu - add people tag
- right context menu - add people tag added

overlay button in the image:
that one is nightmare as described above and in the related 'bug' https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386291
