| Jan 16, 2012 at 13:10 | comment | added | user9517 | This is what the tag synonym pages say the requirements are. Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can suggest tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can vote for tag synonyms. | |

| Jan 15, 2012 at 16:46 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @Starfish They key problem is that to suggest a synonym you need 2500 rep in the tag itself. That's a Bronze tag-badge at least, and well on the way to a silver tag-badge. This means that the only way to clean up 'minor' tags (in our case, anything that isn't a top-20 tag) is to do it via Meta and have a mod do it. The 'synomizer' badge is one that is nigh impossible to earn now. Those that have it now did so before the rules changed for the worst. | |
| Jan 15, 2012 at 16:29 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @Starfish If you look at the "top users" tab for a tag, you'll get a list of the top rep-earners in that tag. It also gives you the number of upvotes you've earned in the tag. The whole system is documented here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/70710/… | |
| Jan 15, 2012 at 16:07 | comment | added | Starfish | I don't see a suggest button, only a link to see all tag synonyms. I'm still trying to understand your comment "Because of the reputation requirements for synonyms, I believe this method is the only way this badge is being earned these days." How can someone do that if they can't even suggest the synonym until they have 2500 rep? If they have 2500 rep then rep would not longer be a limiting factor as that sentence suggests. I'm confused. Am I missing something? | |
| Jan 15, 2012 at 16:00 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @Starfish Example, go here. If you have enough rep, there is a "Suggest a [apache2] synonym:" entry at the bottom. All the tag synonyms are listed here. The rep requirements are two-fold. You need 2500 to even try, and a certain amount in the tag to suggest one. | |
| Jan 15, 2012 at 15:33 | comment | added | Starfish | How does one suggest it via the official system so it can be approved by a mod? Despite extensive searching, I couldn't find out how one officially suggests one. There are no buttons or links to suggest or create one. I only found people suggesting them here which I thought was the official way. | |
