that's for desktop wallpapers

but how can we definitively say that anybody typing "wall paper" as two words is referring to the decoration, rather than a desktop wallpaper?

I respect this concern, but I think in this case we'd be okay to alias it this way.

my reasoning:
Technically we cannot guarantee it. However, judging by the history [ https://e621.net/post_versions?commit=Search&search%5Bexclude_uploads%5D=0&search%5Btags_removed%5D=wall_paper ] the tag 'wall_paper' has only been removed 4 times total in the history of the site, and the last time was actually 8 years ago.

Which means that mistagging 'wall_paper' (the wall covering type) when they really mean 'wallpaper' (the desktop type) almost never happens. Amazingly, it hasn't needed to be corrected that way in 8 years and all of the current images under it seem to be for the wall covering meaning. So I think in this case, an alias can work because I don't think mistags will really be a problem for this particular tag.
