This question cannot be answered in its current form, because critical information is missing.

I just created a bug report post about notifications in the inbox. When applying tags for my post, I typed in "notifications". That resulted in two tags [tag:notification] and [tag:notifications]. Had Codidact showed me some kind of a tag wiki excerpt, I would be able to know the difference between these, but as I couldn't, I figured I'd just select both tags. Preferably, one of them should be a synonym of the other, or one of them should be removed. So I posted my bug report, only to realize that [tag:notifications] is a synonym of [tag:email-notifications]. This makes no sense to me, and is really not intuitive.

I can't reproduce this

(Images don't work in comments apparently)

They are two separate tags. This is also the case when going to the relevant tag pages (https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags/5761 and https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags/3417); neither shows the other as a child or synonym.

It happened when I posted this question.

Upon checking the list of tags, and filtering by "notification", it does indeed seem that those three tags are all separate from each other. So I don't know why that happened to my post. That said, It's quite peculiar to have both a "notification" and a "notifications" tag.

I failed to reproduce this issue again with a test post.
