Styles: rename /tag to /tags OR redirect /tags to /tag

[ninetydegrees]

Title:
Styles: rename /tag to /tags

Area:
styles

Summary:
When you want to go to the tags page of a journal, the URL uses the word 'tag' (e.g. http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/tag). I suggest it be renamed to 'tags'.

Description:
I can't count the number of times I've typed 'tags' only to get a 'We can't find that page' message.

Alternative suggestion: implement a redirect so that 'tags' works too and leave 'tag' as the default.

Second alternative suggestion: do both! Rename the actual page to 'tags', because it makes more sense for people new to the system, but then have the 'tag' page redirect to 'tags' so people who've bookmarked or learned the old system don't lose out.

I believed DW would automatically implement a redirect if the renaming happened and this is why I didn't mention it.
