Credit goes to jokerdino for making me aware of almost all of these tags. He sent me a list of tags he considered low quality, and asked me to post on meta about the ones I think we should take action …

While they can behave differently (mostly on non-Ubuntu systems), gksu and gksudo are not really separate topics. They're provided by the same package (gksu). They're even the same executable (which c …

I believe review-audits is a better tag name than audits. The main reason is what you say: it is less ambiguous. But there is another, minor reason. review-audits will be easier to find and, for users …

Right now we have separate virtual-console and virtual-terminal tags. One should be made a synonym of the other, but which one should be the master tag? We have another question on meta about this, po …

Merging Versioned and Versionless Desktop Environment Tags I think gnome3 (and gnome2, if we have it) could be made synonyms of gnome. Similarly, kde4 (and kde3, if we have it) could be made synonyms …

We don't seem to have tags like that for other Ubuntu release numbers. No ubuntu-16.04, for example, just 16.04. Since there were only two questions tagged ubuntu-17.10, I've just retagged them to 17. …

There is really no need for a separate xfce4 tag, since virtually any question about xfce in Ubuntu will pertain to major version 4. Previous versions are not currently supported in Ubuntu. (They use …

Possible Duplicate: Tag synonym request: [library]->[libraries] library and libraries seem to be used exactly the same way. Perhaps one of them was once meant to relate to the use of Ubuntu …

If any action is taken, .bashrc should be made a synonym of bashrc, not of bash. It's true that we don't need a separate tag .bashrc. That tag is hardly used (surely some question has at some point i …

The compiling-from-source tag is rarely used and the potential differences between it and compiling are small and mostly theoretical.

winxp was created yesterday. We already have windows-xp, which is used extensively. But "winxp" is a pretty common abbreviation for "Windows XP." Therefore, I recommend making winxp a synonym of windo …
