user17: Currently we have the tags:

a-certain-magical-index
railgun

Which refer to:

"A Certain Magical Index" or "Toaru Majutsu no Index"
"A Certain Scientific Railgun" or "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun"

which are sister series in the same universe.
However, a-certain-scientific-railgun is too long to be a tag. So we currently use railgun instead.
But given that these two series go together, there will likely be many questions with both tags.
An example of which is: How is Misaka's railgun so destructive?
But it seems inconsistent to use the full name for one, and the shortened name for the other.

So what should we do?
Option 1: Shorten them to index and railgun. And synonymize a-certain-magical-index -> index
Option 2: Switch them both to the Japanese names: toaru-majutsu-no-index and toaru-kagaku-no-railgun. (Both of which fit.) And then synonymize a-certain-magical-index -> toaru-majutsu-no-index.
Option 3: Leave them inconsistent as is with: a-certain-magical-index and railgun

If you have other ideas, please post them.
