Big tags overhaul - 1st part - please delete those tags!
  • I've just finished a first clean-up of the tags pages, where I consolidated tags, provided synonyms, wrote guidance text and defined some hierarchy.
  • As a result there are quite a lot of "dead" tags that should be deleted (beginning at page 4 of 5).
  • Could a please a mod escalate this to the staff that can do that?
  • The dead tags are all tags with 0 questions **and** are clearly marked with an all uppercase guidance text, such as:
  • >DO-NOT-USE -- TO BE MERGED with `xxxx` as a synonym
  • or
  • >DO-NOT-USE -- DEPRECATED (AMBIGUOUS)
  • so they are easily identifiable.
  • ***Please, don't delete tags marked as such that have at least a question***, since I still have to consolidate them (I've marked them for my future reference and to avoid people using them).

I've just finished a first clean-up of the tags pages, where I consolidated tags, provided synonyms, wrote guidance text and defined some hierarchy.

As a result there are quite a lot of "dead" tags that should be deleted.

Could a please a mod escalate this to the staff that can do that?

The dead tags are all tags with 0 questions **and** are clearly marked with an all uppercase guidance text, such as:

>DO-NOT-USE -- TO BE MERGED with `xxxx` as a synonym

or 

>DO-NOT-USE -- DEPRECATED (AMBIGUOUS)

so they are easily identifiable.

***Please, don't delete tags marked as such that have at least a question***, since I still have to consolidate them (I've marked them for my future reference and to avoid people using them).
