Popularity indicator for tags

Someone trying to choose between a mess of similar tags for their posts might find it helpful to see which ones are the most popular. Currently they're sorted by popularity in the autocomplete, but there's no way to directly compare two tags that are spelled differently to see whether people actually use them or not.  


If numbers are disfavored here, a visual indicator (colors or shades, or patterns, or motion?) might serve the same purpose. maybe a tag could wiggle if it's popping off

Related to this, it would be great if there were a way to see unambiguous synonyms when you browse a tag, so you could just add the version you like on your posts instead of spamming them all, and the community doesn't end up stuck with an uncommon variant.


Things like #FF14 #FFXIV #Final Fantasy 14 #Final Fantasy XIV


Or #shitpost #shitchost #shitposting #shitchosting

This is a great idea. It would really help communities form "canonical" tags for certain topics.
