I just noticed that we have the (older, more well-established) ogl tag as well as the (newer, used on only two questions) open-game-license tag. I went to the ogl tag and suggested the other as a syno …

It can probably go. After recommendation requests were (re)made off-topic, it was standard operating procedure to close and lock them when they were bumped or otherwise discovered in the course of usi …

Yes, rename it! But we don’t want the edition-less synonym confusing things. pathfinder should be renamed but without leaving it as a synonym. We should just not have a Pathfinder tag without an editi …

I’m not a fan of having them synonymised, for pretty much the reasons you give. There are some games where spellcasting = spells (D&D being the big one), but that’s not true for other games, so havin …

Yes, since we don’t need both. We don’t actually care that some systems implement wrestling with various specific named actions and we don’t need tags for them. We tag for topics, to gather together q …

Done! Normally we don't make synonyms for plural forms and such because the system redirects people, as you found, but this is such a high-traffic tag that an exception is likely very useful.

It doesn't seem to be a tag that has much utility or community support, either of which I think is enough reason to clean up a tag. I'd be happy to see it made a synonym pointing to dice.

After three more years (!) and considerably more questions, it became clear that a division developed between old playtest questions and questions that are or can be made into questions about the curr …

I noticed 3pp when it was first created and was quite dubious about it then,1 but didn't go out of my way to interact with it, preferring to let the community's folksonomy process chew on it a bit. M …

From Meta SE, reproduced, explained, and fixed here: User card senses danger when chasing tricky "edit tags", runs for dear life. Turns out it was a weird JavaScript/jQuery/CSS interaction bug.
