clarified tag synonyms part

However, for the unambiguous cases, like zero-no-tsukaima -> the-familiar-of-zero, it is typically easier and faster to PM a mod in my experience. Making a meta post is also perfectly acceptable, and if you as a mod think it's potentially ambiguous you should direct the user to do so. However, I don't see much benefit in having such a meta post for every series when most of them don't really require any formal documentation. | |

When 2/3 of the Google results are for the Japanese name (on an English search), I feel like we should be using that instead. At the very least, as a synonym. | |
