<p>We have two tags: <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support&#39;" rel="tag">support</a> &amp; <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support-structures" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support-structures&#39;" rel="tag">support-structures</a> </p>

<p>These two are essentially the same thing. Even the abbreviated tag-wikis are pretty much saying the same thing. IMHO, we should combine the two tags as they are superfluous. </p>

<p>There was the Meta question: <a href="https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/q/168/11242">support-material / support-structures Tag unification?</a> which was about combining <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support-material" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support-material&#39;" rel="tag">support-material</a> &amp; <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support-structures" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support-structures&#39;" rel="tag">support-structures</a> which was turned down, but this request is quite different.</p>

This implies that the <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support&#39;" rel="tag">support</a> tag is removed and it could be reinstated at any time by new questions. Users with enough reputation can remove the <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support&#39;" rel="tag">support</a> tag if it gets recreated and we could create a synonym later. </p>\n\n<p>In my humble opinion, the best solution may be to rename <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support&#39;" rel="tag">support</a> to <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/supports" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;supports&#39;" rel="tag">supports</a> and then make it a synonym for <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/support-structures" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;support-structures&#39;" rel="tag">support-structures</a>!</p>\n'}]
