There seem to be posts tagged with candle and candles

Should they be

• aliased?

candles -> candle

• implicated?

candles -> candle

• left alone and be used separately for the plural or singular vernacular?

Candles

(The latter 2 are somewhat the same choice)

Edit:
Requesting an alias of

candles -> candle

Reason: Single tense tagging preference

You're just full of threads, aren't you?

I support leaving it be, to reflect one candle with the singular and multiple with the plural. That only makes sense if you speak English.

:3

If they're being left separate,both tags should be cleaned to place the singular in candle,and the multiple in candles.And maybe even a wiki entry

I'll start on both once someone says for sure what's being done with them

Eh, I thing we should alias the plural to a singular; if we don't use plurals for all physical objects, I don't see why this would be an exception.

I say alias candles to candle because in order for there to be multiple candles, there must be at least one candle.

Just create a tag alias request. Since candles don't usually come in pairs, use the singular candle (unlike, say, nipples). Also, candle has more posts than candles (currently 320 vs 144, respectively).

An alias it is then

I support aliasing candles to candle; we don't need multiple tags to differentiate the number of candles in an image, and when we do aliases like this we usually use the singular (like horns aliased to horn.
