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.

  • Agreed, kinda just makes things more complicated. – WELZ Nov 28 '18 at 14:18
  • And I think you mean a 'burninating' hatred :P – Vincent Nov 29 '18 at 10:29

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. – PieBie Nov 29 '18 at 10:42
  • 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! – PieBie Nov 29 '18 at 11:01

and do not mean the same thing. There is a clear added value in keeping both and adding an explanation to .
