(21 Q) does not show up on a search for 'teenage' while asking a question, nor is a synonym or anything. If I hadn't clicked on a question, I would have no idea what tag to use when asking a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles question.

Can we rename to ?

    why not just set up a synonym? – phantom42 Feb 18 '16 at 16:13

    @phantom42 Because I'm fairly sure that [teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles] is a better tag name than [tmnt]. – Mithical Feb 18 '16 at 16:20

No

Unfortunately, it's too long. teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles has 28 characters, which is 3 over the limit. You could try it without the dashes, but that makes for an ugly tag.

What we could probably do, is set up , the ugly no-dash version, as a synonym for , so that it will be found when searching for tags, but will be used.

While we're at it, we might as well set up and as synonyms.

  • Worth mentioning TMHT as an alias aswell, one of the old old old versions of TMNT (youtube.com/watch?v=Py0QpvvJl_s) – Oak Feb 25 '16 at 9:25
  • May as well also create a tag for teenagemuntentninjatoitles. Rocksteady and Beebop will gladly point out that it is a shorter number of characters. (After figuring out just how much it saves, remember to thank Rocksteady and Beebop for being the ones who will happily tell you this.) – TOOGAM Feb 29 '16 at 15:48
  • It is now possible to rename [tmnt] due to the new 35 character extension. – Thunderforge Aug 9 '17 at 0:55

We can now rename it

All sites are now allowed to use tags with 35 characters. Thus we can rename this tag to .

TMNT is the accepted abbreviation for the franchise, to the point that one of the movies was specifically titled TMNT. It's pretty clear what it means. Even a Google search for TMNT brings up "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" first thing.

However, the other short name, , would make a good synonym.

    There's not much point in creating a [ninja-turtles] tag and merging it with [tmnt], because as soon as you type "ninja", [tmnt] will come up via autocomplete because it's a synonym of [teenagemutantninjaturtles]. – Rand al'Thor♦ Feb 21 '16 at 11:27
