Tag Aliases - Read the first page before suggesting.

Was there any difference between those tags?

@Background Pony #D4EC  
The database doesn’t have a replica but that wouldn’t actually make it faster. The site barely stresses the database at all and only maybe 5-8% of a web request is waiting on the database.
 
For aliasing, sharding would make it slower. Replication would have next to no effect because you would want to work on the primary.
 
Plus, the server is beefy; a Xeon E5-2650 with 128GB of RAM is nothing to scoff at.

@Joey  
He’s been posting the same art simultaneously to both accounts for a year now; does that work?

done

@Background Pony #79EB  
That was me.  
Thanks, Trixiebooru.

human twilight -> equestria girls

@Background Pony #9CCB  
I think you meant that one for implications.

@Background Pony #9CCB  
That’d be implication, not alias.

ffffuuuuuuu

destroyah <=> destoroyah
 
exodia <=> exodia the forbidden one

artist:pwnies -> artist:colorlesscupcake
 
same artist, just uses different name for furaffinity than they do tumblr and da.

artist:swiftyspark -> artist:chromadraws  
DA
 
Both have the same associated DA link, and the art from both appear to be from the same DA gallery.
 
Looks like the two artist tags need to be merged. Under Swiftyspark there’s 33 and under Chromadraws there’s 44, with a smattering of images under each tag.
 
The artist is currently making art under the name ChromaDraws.

80s retro (14) -> 80s (254)  
1980s (13) -> 80s (254)

gemstone -> gem

magic hold (37) -> telekinesis (4676)
 
 
Not sure abut the next one, but do we need two tags to show an image contains letters arranged into groups?
 
words (182) -> text (18039)  
word (4) -> text (18039)

@Soarinjack  
I’d suggest word -> words, since the text tag is specifically for when the main point of the image is the text. words can be used for when the image simply contains text, but it’s not the main focus.  
The word tag only has 4 images, so you may as well merge it manually.

Done
 
(I’m getting called away, I’ll do the rest later)

@DragonWraith  
I’d agree (and that’s how I always read the “text” tag, for Tweets, forum comments, DA answers from staff, etc), but as of now, there doesn’t seem to be any practical difference in their use. Lots of images in the “text” tag that are screencaps/fanart with one or two words added. That tag needs a clean-up.
 
Either way, to follow the usual “plural” -> “singular” model.
 
words -> word

@Soarinjack
 
I don’t know if we should alias. especially not in that order. we already have the one word tag for images with only one word, so, aliasing “words” to “word” only would cause confusion between those tags.
 
Either way, out of the four uses of that tag, one was substitutible for “one word”, other was substitutible for “words”, other was plain unexplainable, and the other uses “word” as hip-hop slang.
 
I removed all of those uses accordingly, except for the last one.

my hero academia → boku no hero academia

changeling goo (22) → changeling slime (24)

this is spinal tap = spinal tap

Possibly:  
dexterous hooves -> hoof hold

@Background Pony #86DA
 
I don’t think so. “hoof hold” is for things being generally held with hooves. “dexterous hooves” is for things that couldn’t possibly be held or operated with hooves being used with hooves anyway.

One’s a movie, the other’s a band.
