Motivated by Stefan's prompt reaction to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2084/rename-script-to-scripts, I went through the first five pages of tags looking for singular tags to pluralize, once again with the question http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/302/our-set-of-tags in mind:
The following kinds of tags are recommended:
Whenever I wasn't sure if a tag could or should be pluralized, I tried to put it in a sentence: "This question is about {tag}" (without any articles!). If singular sounds sensible, it won't be included in my list here.
So I propose to rename the following singular tags to their respective plural form and make the singular tag a synonym of the plural tags.
color (further advantage: it'll be clearer that this tag is not only about thecolorpackage, but about any color-related questions)- ? documentclass to document-classes (like packages, even though one could argue that you only use one document class in a document, but usually several packages -- open to discussion)
- ? index to indexes
- url (like links, with the same advantage as colors)
- external-file
- mathoperator (not sure about this one because I don't deal with math questions)
- background
width and height (not sure)- path, but that tag needs some attention at any rate.
- graph
paper-size is a tag that could be pluralized but I don't think it would be appropriate because it (usually) deals with paper size as an abstract property of a single document and not with e.g. comparing A4 to letter paper.
As I'm expecting discussion on some of these proposals, I suggest to strike out those tags that have been acted or decided upon with <s>...</s>.
I'm not sure what our policy on creating synonyms is; if we only create synonyms when they become necessary, we can probably skip most of the synonyms (not renamings) proposed above. If we create synonyms preventively, then let's roll!
