ont sure, about least,his onaye: per its tag description, "@`[screencap]@` is for screen captures, even animations or whole video sections, from the official MLP content. **This is not used for screencaps in general.**"

Although `screenshot` is aliased into `screencap` and usually, plural forms of tags are treated the same, *because* `screenshot` is aliased into `screencap` it seems that `screenshots` is more non-screencap than screencap and making it an alyias might just be introducing more trouble.
 
On a related note
, because @`screenshot@` is aliased into @`screencap@`, I'm not sure what tag, if any, is meant to be used for screenshots in general (such as of a drawing application, a browser window, etc.) Certain specific ones, like @`game screencap@`, get tagged only with their tag and not @`screencap@`.
Reason: changed opinion slightly

This one, at least, nay: per its tag description, "@[screencap]@ is for screen captures, even animations or whole video sections, from the official MLP content. *This is not used for screencaps in general.*"

Unfortunately, because @screenshot@ is aliased into @screencap@, I'm not sure what tag, if any, is meant to be used for screenshots in general (such as of a drawing application, a browser window, etc.) Certain specific ones, like @game screencap@, get tagged only with their tag and not @screencap@.
No reason given
