Plural to Singular alias request thread

Lina Inverse does wear double pauldrons (post #735349). But it's true that many images depict only a single pauldron. The question is whether it means they're not a natural pair, or just a widespread exception. I'd lean towards the latter; either way I don't think it's useful to have a distinction between one and two.

They are very commonly seen both ways. I'd probably lean towards plural since pauldrons are designed to be worn on and protect the shoulders, and shoulders themselves certainly make a natural pair. Either direction, I'd second keeping one tag for both single and dual forms.

I'm in favor of the singular. The shoulders may be a natural pair, but - for various reasons - pauldrons aren't necessarily intended to be worn in pairs.

Agree with just using one tag so I just went with single, given that it seems acceptable either way.

Remove Alias: anklets > anklet;
Implication: anklets > anklet;

It looks that there should be two different tag groups:
anklet, ankle_bracelet - when anklet is worn on one leg
anklets, ankle_bracelets - when its worn on both legs

Check how many images exist for these tags ( on gelbooru ):
anklet - 1601 images
anklets - 162 images

"anklets" should just implicate "anklet" but not to be alias of it.

I don't think we need to make this distinction.

tanks -> tank

While not common, I'm not sure if we want to tag multiple tanks in an image or just alias this.

zombies -> zombie

off_shoulders -> off_shoulder

Done

blueprints -> blueprint

tusks <-> tusk

This isn't quite the same, but it's related to plural aliases.

create alias 6girls -> 6+girls

On one hand, most tusked animals like elephants or boars have a pair of tusks and teeth are usually paired. On the other hand, narwhals are the exception, typically having one tusk and rarely having two.

I'm not sure where I stand in terms of alias direction but I know that tusk and tusks aren't distinct enough to have their own tags like horn/horns.

I guess we can go plural since it's much more common.

This alias is broken.

Resubmitted it.
