I've been looking around on SO to see when to vote on tag synonyms, but I cannot find the answer.
I was trying to vote up for apple-push-notifications and apn as synonym. But it did not take my vote.
Could anyone of you help me out?

1You need 2500 reputation to vote on tag synonyms, see the privilege page (Titled Suggest and vote on tag synonyms)– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 13, 2012 at 9:14

1@Sha, funny, does that mean the synonym page is misleading? It says "Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can suggest tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can vote for tag synonyms." To me it implies that rep is needed for suggesting, but not for voting.– SingerOfTheFallCommented Nov 13, 2012 at 9:22

@SingerOfTheFall true, looks like the privilege page need to be rephrased then..– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 13, 2012 at 9:26

1@SingerOfTheFall OK, edited what I can on the privilege page here on Meta it will be pushed within day or so to all sites, and asked to change the title in there as well.– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 13, 2012 at 9:41

Unfortunately (or furtunately, who knows), one needs to have a total answer score of 5 or more on a specific tag to be able to vote for the synonym. Here "total answer score" is total upvotes minus total downvotes. From your profile page I can see that you have not answered any questions on the apple-push-notifications tag, thus you can't vote.
However, it should show a notification about that for you, like this:

2Yep, even 20K+ users can't vote without enough score on the specific tag. The system works! :) Commented Nov 13, 2012 at 9:28
