But the community is also a major judge of what is necessary. Just like it is the community that determines the lingo of the tags, the structure of how people tag and what categories exist, so too does the community decide if there are certain sets of logical synonyms that should be maintained as tag synonyms. You should see the mess that is Arqade's title tag synonym lists some time. | |

Straight-forward tag synonym proposals are generally accepted and setup each time they are proposed. I may claim that the necessity may be weaker if it's only a relation in name, but this is still only advice for when there's uncertainty on the establishment of the synonym. | |
