For requests to replace one tag with another existing tag. It also applies to requests that one tag should be merged into another, or simply abandoned.
This tag denotes a request for help to retag a set of questions. Note that the moderator capacity of merging tags is simply an extended application of retagging, and thus requesting that one tag be merged into another is simply a different flavor of retag request.
A completed retag request often but not always results in the creation of a tag synonym. You can add the tag synonym-request if you want the retag to be permanent.
Also use either of these required tags:
- support, if the request is indisputable and/or demands moderator assistance
- discussion, to discuss how to retag the set of questions, if at all
