What to do when finding a case of ambiguity between two tags?

Question

Although it seems similar, it is a different case from this one.

My question goes on the other hand; and is that reviewing several questions about rxvt-unicode, I have found that there are times that the label indicated is urxvt and other times rxvt:

I keep in mind that urxvt is a fork of rxvt, so there may be the difference. However, in all the cases I am seeing they refer to urxvt (as it is more logical that it is used today by most).

I don't know if there are cases similar to this with other ambiguous labels. But this makes dealing with the categories that reference these software a bit messy.

Wouldn't it be interesting to unify the two, perhaps in rxvt as a generalization? What do you think?

Indeed, and that's exactly the case now. Note how the suggestion says rxvt with the subtext "also: urxvt"? That's because urxvt is already a synonym of rxvt (since 2015). You can't actually add the urxvt tag to a question now - if you do, the system will automatically convert it to rxvt when you save the post.

It's also listed separately with 33 posts because posts which were tagged with urxvt before the tag synonymization was completed aren't automatically converted to use the rxvt tag, and so still belong to the synonym.
