There are 31 questions tagged with the tag, a lot of which are also tagged . Most of these are basic questions about transparency, with only a few about advanced manipulation of alpha channels. The tag does not have an explanation.

I vote to make a synonym of and add a mention about alpha channels in the transparency description.

I will add two answers to guide the voting process. Upvote the one you agree with. There is no need to downvote an answer.

YES

and are basically the same thing and should be tag synonyms. The tag with the fewest questions should be made obsolete.

  • OK, seems clear. I'll clean up the tags and let it be known when I'm done so a mod can make the synonyms.

  • Done, the alpha tag is no longer. Could a mod create the synonyms? And maybe edit the transparency tag description to include alpha channel manipulation. Thanks!
