Aliasing nazi_symbol → swastica
Link to alias

Reason:

Fairly self explanatory.
been seeing people useing the first to indicate the second.

Note: my spelling is bad, I don't believe there could only be one count of swastica, so my versions a spelling error. Prolly need to fix the 1 count of the tag too...

There's a lot of similar orphan tags. Usually tagged on deleted images. Which we can't clean up, since we can't see or edit those at our user level.

Do you mean swastika?
It's a lot more than just the nazi symbol.
And frankly, the nazi symbol is more than just a swastika, or out to be if it's being done properly.
It's a swastika that's right-facing, rotated 45 degrees in a white circle on a red background.

Anything less than that full flag has the possibility of other connotations, the classic example being a Hindu symbol of peace and good luck.

There are other Nazi symbols, though. Such as the SS and Wehrmacht symbol.

yeah not all nazi symbols are swastikas and swastikas arent nazi symbols by default

Even though 99% of the time "Nazi_symbol" is going to mean the Nazi swastika and the swastika tag is probably going to mean the same thing nearly as much, I'm in agreement with this:

It's going to cause more problems having badly tagged images through the result of aliases than having to manually tag the images.
