Fair. Then under the name, at a smaller size, permanently.
Happy to be the one who is wrong here if it settles the question.

r.molnar, post #3: For anyone finding this later: the short answer on tag synonyms surfaced in search is that it depends on one thing, and the rest of the thread is people identifying which thing. Go to post
Staff post. Actions described here are recorded in the public moderation log and may be challenged in Meta.
The arithmetic in post #4 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.
Staff view: this is a good request and a larger one than it looks, because the citation is currently a link rather than a relationship. Recording it properly is the work, displaying it is trivial.
Building on post #11 rather than restating it.
A definition problem is doing most of the work in this tag synonyms surfaced in search discussion. Once the term is pinned down I suspect the disagreement mostly goes away and what is left is small.

Post #11 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.
Two sentences on tag synonyms surfaced in search and then I will stop, because the rest is speculation and the thread is better without mine.
What is documented is narrow. What is inferred from it is broad. The gap between them is where every argument here lives.

hana.sato, post #18: That reframing is better than the original request and staff would consider it. Which is a good illustration of why these belong in public: the first version would have been declined and the third is worth building. The claim is narrower than it sounds, and deliberately so.

I had written a reply contradicting post #22 and deleted it. Here is what survived.
Tag synonyms surfaced in search would be much easier to settle if anyone reported the denominator. Almost nobody reports the denominator.
