Topic: Tag Alias: leaves -> leaf

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing leaves → leaf
Link to alias

Reason:

...or the other way around if so preferred. Unless we want to distinguish images/animations with many leaves (e.g., fall scenery) from those with just one leaf, I don't see the point in having both tags.

While both tags admittedly aren't that useful, part of me wants to say keep them separate.
Leaf can be used as a loincloth post #402112, hat post #40155, or leaf_umbrella post #98627, while leaves is just used for outside scenery post #260179. Both of them are also used for tagging body parts of flora_fauna, but I don't see how that is any more useful than tagging tail...

I think they're different enough to keep as separate tags.

I see the use of keeping leaf and leaves separate too, but it looks like we have a history of aliasing plural and singular nouns in similar cases such as flowers -> flower. And there will probably continue to be frequent mistagging of leaf in posts with many leaves anyway.

fig_leaf, leaf_on_head, leaf_umbrella. If necessary, leaf_clothing could work too.

Fair enough. I guess they can be aliased.

You mean implied, right? Alias means you delete the current tag to replace it entirely with the new one.

Sorry, I meant alias leaves -> leaf

Bumping, was just about to suggest this myself. Leaf and Leaves both have over 2,000 posts; I think an alias of leaves to leaf would be appropriate.
