Topic: Tag Alias: prosthetic -> prosthetics

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Generally I prefer to use the singular word for tags (horns-->horn, scars-->scar, tattoos-->tattoo) but it's really just personal preference I suppose. In this case, I think I'd rather go for prosthetic, since many of the characters with this tag only have one prosthetic limb, but I'm otherwise for the alias.

I'd rather go for prosthesis myself, but that's just me.

Alright, I flipped it and then approved it because of Tokaido's point about how an image with a character who has a single prosthetic but being tagged "prosthetics" is going to seem wrong and be un-correctable. But if a picture has more than one prosthetic in it, it still has at least one. So I think it does work better going to the singular in this case for those reasons.

I also added and approved an alias for prosthesis to --> prosthetic because I didn't realise we had that as a tag, but it is the more technical term for the same thing. And I aliased it to --> prosthetic since I think less people would be familiar with the word "prosthesis" and that "prosthetic" seems to be more prevalent in common vernacular.
