| Mar 12, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | Makyen | In particular, as a moderator on SO, I really don't want to be notified about every existing synonym proposal all the time, because while I can act on them, I'm definitely not going to act on the vast majority, due to not having subject matter expertise. In addition, if I wanted to review synonyms, then there's a purpose-built page where I could do that. It might be acceptable to be notified about new proposed synonyms. | |

Without limiting these notifications to only users who can actually act on each proposed synonym, this would be very noisy. Showing such notifications to people who can't act on them is actually harmful. Given that determining if the user can act on each synonym request would be quite expensive, massively so if it had to be done on every page, as the badge on the php tag in the question appears to propose. Personally, I'd really not want something that in your face. OTOH, I agree that there would be benefit in some method of informing those who can act that there is a new proposal.

| Oct 15, 2018 at 14:22 | comment | added | Rob | Most useful would be if gold and silver tag badge holders were notified by the red dot in the Review Queue (upper right) and clicking would show the review available in the dropdown. Those two classes of users are best equipped to review the synonyms, rather than basing it on Rep. | |

| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | Heretic Monkey | What about adding a review queue for synonyms? You could also filter it by tag so that you only see tags you care about. It would also be nice if, when suggesting a synonym, one could add comments explaining the desire for synonymization so as to make it easier to vote on them. | |
| Nov 3, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | Roland | I have only one favorite tag, a language tag. I wouldn't see these notifications if you link them to favorite tags, although I have quite a few tag badges. | |

@ErikvonAsmuth Yes, of course, any solution that can make voting on suggested synonyms faster should be considered. I just proposed it as a possible solution, having a Favorite Tags sidebar is good too.

| Nov 1, 2017 at 11:50 | comment | added | Erik A | Fully agree that something needs to be done. Tag synonyms tend to hang around for ages with no-one voting on them in my experience. Alternative to your proposal, it could only be shown at the favorite tags section (right sidebar), so experienced users can vote on it, but it isn't an annoyance that's on every question. | |
