Plugins are available with "wrong" names
For example, the local_search plugin is available in the site as localsearch.
So:
nikola plugin -i localsearch
versus:
nikola plugin -r local_search
One or the other needs changing, or we need aliases so things work.
Just listing down other problematic names:
rest_microdata -- microdata
rest_forms -- forms
local_search -- localsearch
render_mustache -- mustache
render_subindexes -- subindexes
tx3TagCloud -- tx3_tag_cloud
wordpress -- wordpress_compiler
Just a remark: since both names of the WordPress compiler appear in the import_wordpress plugin coming with Nikola, a simple rename would be a bad idea as it could break released Nikola versions (if they are used to import a WordPress blog with conversion of posts to HTML enabled). So an alias mechanism might be a good idea.
@felixfontein I don't understand your comment. The wordpress importer ships with core, so you never install it or remove it.
The WordPress importer allows to automatically install the WordPress compiler plugin when asked to do so. If we change the name of the WordPress compiler plugin, existing installations of Nikola won't find the plugin anymore if that functionality of the import_wordpress plugin is used.
No problem, as long as the name we keep is the one used to install :-)

Well, that's part of the problem: the import plugin uses both names: one (wordpress) to find the plugin (to determine if it is installed, and to use it when it is installed), and one (wordpress_compiler) to install it (doing so automatically if requested, or by printing the command to install it).
