      Noting that we also do not have [on-mim] tags on the trademark senses of プチプチ (2404570) and ガチャガチャ(1003120).

      but the trade name is still an onomatopoeia is it not? I don't see a reason to remove the on-mim tag

      A we don't xref synonyms? what a shame, I think that's one of the most useful things about xrefs (which also many monolingual dictionaries do). I mean, if there was already an xref it would ahave saved me the trouble of googling around for 10 minutes since I wasn't sure what the more technical term for コロコロ was, if I had an xref it would have seriously helped me so I am sure it would be the same for others. Sad to here that this feature is unwanted, I don't see how it's not helpful but if that's  the rules then it's the rules. I also wonder what the barrier for "colloquial" is, it seems very arbitrary to me, I really cannot imagine ever using コロコロ in a formal setting if I am fully honest, that sounds so off to me.
