There's an option for tag synonyms but I can't seem to figure out how to create the first one. For example it would be good to have
msm == multi-site-manager (both of these tags exist)
I'm sure that others will come up as the site evolves.

2Very good idea. The obvious ones are... EE = ExpressionEngine CI = Code Igniter DB = Database CP = Control Panel GV = Global Variable SN = Snippet– MutualCommented Nov 18, 2012 at 14:11

I don't think anyone's able to setup tag synonyms yet as it requires a rep of 1250.

1Yip, and synonyms need to be voted on by the community to be approved as well. I guess we can work on them once we build up our rep. Commented Nov 19, 2012 at 5:27

You also need to have a score of at least 5 in the tag you want to add a synonym to Commented Nov 29, 2012 at 15:21

Moderators can... for now, that's us (the community team at SE). :) Commented Dec 17, 2012 at 23:00
I set up a synonym to go from msm to multi-site-manager and merged them (so basically whatever questions were under msm are now under multi-site-manager instead).
While I was there, I also approved the following suggestions:
- add-on-dev -> add-on-development
[store] -> [expresso-store](undid this one; see comments)
There are currently two remaining suggestions: cp -> control-panel and uri -> url. You might want to kick off another discussion about whether or not those should be set up. With only two questions under cp, it seems to make more sense to me to just retag those questions and let the tag age away. Same for uri, except that it's also the more general form of the term, so it might make more sense to make url the synonym instead.
(Disclaimer: I say all this without having ever used ExpressionEngine, so I'm not sure if there are specific terminology issues at play here. Hence leaving the decisions to you folks.)

Does this mean that going forward whenever someone tags something store it will be labelled expresso-store? That doesn't seem right, there are multiple store addons of which expresso-store is just one.– UltraBobCommented Dec 19, 2012 at 2:26

@UltraBob Hah. I was afraid of that. I looked at the existing questions in that tag and they all looked to be about the Expresso Store, so I made an assumption. I'm going to undo that synonym. You guys might want to keep an eye on the [store] tag. Sounds like it might get misused/become worthless. Commented Dec 19, 2012 at 2:30
