| Feb 22, 2015 at 15:56 | comment | added | pepoluan | @HopelessN00b what badges are those? Which one is the rarest? | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 19:31 | comment | added | Reaces | @HopelessN00b Looking at it further this is apparently by design. Tag creators are obfuscated To prevent people from gaming the system for badges. Which seems odd to me, considering the limited importance of badges them warranting censoring the creators names. Regardless... thx for the link. | |

@masegaloeh On that note, many of these dual tags with different forms still exist because one form has a high concentration of questions which should be assigned to a specific, different existing tag instead (host is a great example). It usually makes my life easier to keep avoid merging these tags together into a bigger group until I'm done filtering through for questions that need to be moved out... so if it take a while, well, that's because it's going to take a while to get the site's tags into any semblance of usefulness. As they say, Rome wasn't tagged in a day.

| Feb 19, 2015 at 15:20 | comment | added | HopelessN00b Mod | As a point of interest to any badge-hunters out there, there are at least 3 badges for working with tags in general, one of which is so rare, that only 3 people on all of Server Fault have it. So, that might be worth considering. On that note, I'm not 100% clear on the mechanism behind who gets credit for a tag's creation, but sometimes creating the tag wiki, if it doesn't have one already, will trigger credit to the person who created the wiki (and sometimes it won't), but something worth considering if you want a taxonomist badge. | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 15:18 | comment | added | masegaloeh | @HopelessN00b, that's right. We should aware there is some false positive from the query above. For that, I have do some basic filtering by looking at tag name. Maybe other users can add feedback about tag pairs that should been kept or give feedback how we should decide master tag | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 15:11 | comment | added | HopelessN00b Mod | Just as an FYI, many tags with a singular and a plural form mean different things in their different form (or the questions tagged with them do), so there's that to look out for, both when merging, and when deciding on which form to keep as the master tag. To point 3, the rule of thumb is keep edits that bump old content to around 2 an hour (or less). If you can keep it to that rate, feel free. If you can't, leave it to the tag-bitch mod. (Me.) | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 14:07 | comment | added | Reaces | I noticed you tweaking the query to get these results in data.stackexchange. One thing that stands out is that about 10-15% of the results had wikis only for one of the two tags. Here you could prioritize the ones that have a wiki, and make the ones without a wiki a synonym of the first. | |
