I just noticed that I had the implication backwards for the thread, and that it seems obviously worse the other direction.
I think snowflake is sort of like star in that they are usually seen en masse and that a single instance can be used in isolation as a symbol. There is the sticking point that mass snowflakes are usually just snow without detail, and symbolic snowflakes are rarer than symbolic stars. I guess the alias could go either way, and I'm open to further discussion.
And on a related note, is there any particular reason a plural is used for this tag? I notice in a lot of the pics have two tails that form a heart (which makes sense), but I've seen cases where just one tail is used: post #411399
Anyway, I posted this here because I saw a few Singular → Plural suggestions, so I figured it was all right. But I still feel it's a rather trivial plural/singular alias suggestion, and thought I could fit it into here rather than creating an entire thread about it.
wristbands has already been aliased to wristband. The notice in the wiki of wristbands is automatically generated to indicate this (if you click edit you'll notice that there is no text written there saying anything about it being aliased).
Okay, this is really weird. At the top of the wristbands Wiki page, it says "Posts (-14)". And when doing a search for that tag, it only returns a single page of results. But if I search for wristband, it seems to work normally.
And yes, I was mistaken; it is aliased. I just thought the weird/different results the tag searches were returning indicated that they weren't aliased (seriously, "-14"?).
Can anyone else confirm that this is happening to them to?
Edit: Didn't mean to clutter-up the thread. Sorry. I created a thread about it now.
