Well, in this specific case, there are only 6 users with score 5+ in the tag. So creating a synonym by users is almost impossible, such a synonym would have to be created by a moderator.
BTW the mods have already dealt with some "short tags" listed here: meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/862/help-cleanup-tags/3340#3340

A: Help cleanup tags!

Martin Sleziak As of August 8, 2017, the length limit for tags went from 25 characters to 35 characters. So now is a great time to allow inconveniently compressed tag names to stretch out a bit... Perhaps we could collect here list of tags which now, after the character limit for length of tag name has bee...

I see that this question was recently bumped: What Islamic tiling patterns are constructible? I think that might be a suitable top-level tag. Discrete geometry is mentioned as one of the areas in the tag-info.

Q: What Islamic tiling patterns are constructible?

Brian WichmannEric Broug in his book Islamic Geometric Patterns gives straightedge and compass construction of some simpler patterns. It is clear his techniques will provide constructions for many Islamic patterns. Looking at formal constructibility, the Wikipedia pages gives Gauss' result that 7, 9, 11, 13,...

@MartinSleziak I didn't find any suitable primary tag for this one (I thought of ), and is reasonably broad. Actually, it's at the edge of being off-topic. A missing tag would be something related to field/Galois theory (since the field of constructible numbers is lurking behind), but again these are not primary tags. I'd rather recommend not to bump again this question.

Thanks for the response. I'll leave the tags as they are. (Although the fact that there is no top-level tag is not optimal, but the same is true for one fifth or one sixth of questions on MO.)
