Tag synonym request: [postgresql] ↔ [postgres]

Question

postgresql feels more proper, but postgres has been more popular. They should be synonymized, though I don't know which one should be canonical.

When this is decided, just propose the synonym and I'll finalize it. — Jamal, Commented Nov 25, 2013 at 19:19

The tags have now been synonymized, with postgresql as the master.

Upvote this if you prefer master postgresql ← synonym postgres.

\$\begingroup\$ @Malachi It shouldn't matter that one is a prefix of the other. Once they are synonymized, autocomplete would only suggest the master. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Malachi: It just depends on which is more accurate, which seems to be postgresql. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ on code review the postgresql tag doesn't even have a wiki on it yet. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Malachi But if we decide that we prefer postgresql, it's a simple cut-and-paste job to fix that. \$\endgroup\$
