Potentially ambiguous, and low-traffic tag, so I'd rather skip it for now.

Hmm, I haven't done this in a very long time:

ski -> skis

They form a natural pair and both tags are in use.

Why to singular? Snowflakes naturally come in groups of way more than one.

If it's snowing, that's usually the case. But a picture may also have just a single snowflake, especially if the snowflake is a symbol/motif or unnatural.

If like 99% of posts are plural we usually alias singular -> plural even if there are a couple posts that are singular. Like how breast is aliased to breasts even though post #1015158 exists.

Since this seems surprisingly contentious, and this is not supposed to be a discussion thread (forum #14788), I'll reply in a separate thread.

EDIT: new discussion topic #11822 ("Tag alias: snowflakes -> snowflake")

The bulk update request #230 has been rejected.
