create alias bracer -> bracers
Currently there's an alias from bracers -> bracer, but single bracer exists and most similar tags are plural: arm guards, vambraces, gloves, boots. Bracers are much more commonly worn in pairs, compared to something like bracelet or wristwatch.
I'm hesitant on this because I don't think there's any difference between bracer and arm guards, and I don't want to have to move the tag once only to move it again later.

Arm guards is an umbrella for all arm armor.
Bracer is singular because it’s actually archery equipment, but has become interchangeable with vambrace (which is correct in the wiki) in fantasy media.
Theoretically we could change bracer to archery bracer, get rid of single bracer, and garden the shit out of an 11k tag, but given that single bracer is mostly either fashion or punchy people and that the few examples of any bracer actually being used for archery has most of them on the wrong arm, inverted, or otherwise somehow wrong… my time management scale is pretty heavily weighted towards uploading a pound of feathers instead of gardening a pound of leathers.
Of course, everything I just said comes with the big ‘ol caveat of:
This is what it’s supposed to/intended to be. Actual tagging practice is a hot stinky mess. Like most of medieval equipment!
