Shall we try and clean the close vote review queue to start the new year?
224 questions here on AU, that is doable. On SO, there are 99.9k...

How can this duplicate attract much more traffic than the linked question?
@Aditya I was indeed thinking of SEO. As a moderator, can you see a distribution of the visitors to a question?

I had trouble parsing your not/when/not sentence, but python clarified this: if duplicate_question.answer: if not user.logged_in: no_redirect (does not imply that a logged in user is redirected though). I am still wondering how it is possible that a more recent question attracts more views. It is almost if a distro got a severe bug that caused this.

Is my approach to fixing plagiarized tag wikis a good one?
@EliahKagan When accepting/rejecting edits, I also consider whether an edit is significantly improving or not. In this specific case, I felt that the modification was too minor even if it would fix plagiarism. Never mind "packet analyzer", I thought of these reasons while rejecting your edit (since these were the only new words besides "FOSS").

@EliahKagan (1) it can refer to software or an individual/organization. (2) fully plagiarized is indeed bad, but a short excerpt that describes the use of a tag is not too bad. Tags exist for users who want to find a related question, or make their questions better locatable. (3) If only those changes are made, it is pretty minor which is possibly the reason why some of your edits are rejected. I still accepted most of your link-only edits because attribution is important.

Title is eaten by diff in suggested edit
Thanks that is useful, can you post that as answer? It would also be nice if a moderator adds the status-completed tag to this Q.

@EliahKagan I provided that link to point out what a wiki should contain, I do not (and cannot) ask you to write such wikis. A plagiarised wiki that contains is better than an edit that makes the wiki more confusing or even contain incorrect information (it is immoral though). Adding the source, correcting spelling/grammar errors and maybe a link to the project (for more information) seems sufficient to me.

@EliahKagan The word FOSS did not affluence my decision to reject your suggestion, I just mention it because it occurred to me. The main reason I rejected it was because information was lost when removing "network" and "packet analyzer" is ambiguous.

Should we merge the mail tag with the email tag?
@user66987 You can make insert a reference to a tag using [tag:mail] which will print mail (looks different in question/answer posts)
