Aliasing arm_band → armband
Link to alias

Reason:

and any other similar tags... (legband is already aliased)

That's kinda vague. I'll sort some of them for you.

Current most used tags:

• armband
• hairband
• headband
• leg_band *alias should be reversed to use legband instead
• sweatband
• tail_band *alias should probably be made to use tailband instead
• thigh_band *alias should probably be made to use thighband instead
• wristband

Summary:

• Alias: arm_bands, arm_band -> armband
• Implicate: spiked_armband -> armband (I guess; 12 posts)
• Alias: hair_band -> hairband
• Implicate: frilly_hairband -> hairband (I guess; 30 posts)
• Alias: leg_band -> legband (reverse the alias)
• Alias: legbands, leg_bands -> legband
• Alias: sweatbands, sweat_band, sweat_bands -> sweatband
• Alias: tail_band -> tailband (though, not sure if we should do this, tailband is basically unused atm)
• Alias: tail_bands -> tailband
• Alias: thigh_band -> thighband (thigh_band is more popular, but we might as well be consistent where we can)
• Alias: wrist_bands -> wristband

Misc:

• Alias: bandaged, bandaging -> bandage
• Alias: bandaids -> band-aid
• Implicate: band-aid -> bandage

Sorry, what I meant by that was, "I'm too busy (lazy) to search for any others at the moment, so I'll wait for parasprite to do all the work"

Also, the term "Band-aid" is actually trademarked, it's a specific brand of adhesive bandage... don't think that matters much here but it might be worth considering

It's a genericized trademark in the same manner that kleenex, velcro, hoover, etc. are. I would say alias it, but it seems to refer to the ones that are shaped like ([o]     |  |     [/o]) with the white gauze in the middle rather than the type that is just a long strip that you can roll around someone like post #251998 (I believe they also call these ace bandages), which makes it a bit more distinct.

Does it really matter in our case? *shrug*

I don't think so, just a thought.

The oblong ones are bandages, and the wrappings are bandage_wraps.

It depends on the region you're in (note that sticking_plaster is aliased to band-aid and not bandage).

Which reminds me, plaster should probably be aliased to band-aid since it's the only usage I see on here.

Okay, then reverse it, so that the wrappings are just plain bandages and the oblong ones are adhesive_bandages.
