<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/reference-request" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;reference-request&#39;" rel="tag">reference-request</a> currently has four questions (<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/143264/1352">one of them</a> I just retagged) and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/tags/reference-request/info">no tag wiki</a>.</p>

<p>I propose adding <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/reference-request" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;reference-request&#39;" rel="tag">reference-request</a> as a synonym to <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/references" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;references&#39;" rel="tag">references</a>. (I don't have five votes, so I'm posting here.) Thoughts?</p>

<p>The meta question <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1007/1352">Tags for references</a> is related.</p>
