Plural to Singular alias request thread

Done

hair_tube -> hair_tubes

reason: You could have one, but with only one image in the former, it seems like its a natural pair.

closed_eye -> closed_eyes

Reason: I nominate this on the basis that its likely to be a typo rather than an attempt to get wink since wink is shorter.

Actually most of hair_tubes kochiya_sanae is just one, but I don't know if we need to keep them separate.

Actually it might be better to do it plural to singular,

hair_tubes -> hair_tube

as this puts it in line with things like dowsing_rod

fireworks <-> firework

It can go either way, although I mainly see it in the plural.

I think I would support hair_tubes over hair_tube, mostly because being used in pairs seems to be visually more common than being used singularly. Of the given images in the hair_tubes -touhou search, the majority are those used in pairs. While there are a few that depict it being used singularly I think it should be noted that most hairstyles that would actually use it singularly will have the tube in a less prominent position and be more likely less shown than in hair styles that use it in pairs (or even sets of 3, the 3rd one being the rear, and thus usually concealed).

sparklers -> sparkler

Aliased to:
hair_tubes
fireworks
sparkler

tile -> tiles
Most likely going to be seen with multiple tiles as opposed to one.

Also related:
tiled -> tiles

Aliased:
tile -> tiles

Tiled seems like it could refer to other things though.

alias tools -> tool

Reason: The current alias is the reverse, however, I feel that tools can often be found alone and it seems weird to implicate tools, such as shovels and pickaxes, to the plural in all cases when they are in the singular.

It might be worthwhile to point out forum #30092 for the tools -> tool alias. The definition of the tools tag may have changed since the previous thread though.

Tools has been expanded to include things that are usually singular. Seeing a single screwdriver and tools is a weird combination in practice.

needles -> needle

trenches -> trench

or maybe the other way around. but i'm sure it refers to a type of military fortification. whichever is appropriate.

oven_mitt -> oven_mitts

Often seen as a pair.

magnets -> magnet
moved the sole plural to the singular.

EDIT: related

refrigerator_magnet -> refrigerator_magnets
the direction whichever is appropriate. but i think the plural in this case is more common.

EDIT2: implication

refrigerator_magnets -> magnet

Aliased:
needles -> needle
trenches -> trench
oven_mitt -> oven_mitts
magnets -> magnet
refrigerator_magnets -> refrigerator_magnet

Implicated:
refrigerator_magnet -> magnet

Prefer singular for fridge magnet.

superheroes -> superhero
aiguillettes -> aiguillette

1girls -> 1girl

1boys -> 1boy

I have put -s at the end of this so many times now.

3girl -> 3girls
4girl -> 4girls
5girl -> 5girls
6girl -> 6+girls
6+girl -> g+girls

2boy -> 2boys
3boy -> 3boys
4boy -> 4boys
5boy -> 5boys
6boy -> 6+boys
6+boy -> 6+boys
