I don't see logic behind a network and a networking tag, does anyone else? Can they be merged into Networking if that is the case?

[network] (425)
[networking] (1211)

  • Please do another merge, and add a tag synonym for this: [network] is already back up to 59 questions.

  • Thanks... but... please add a synonym. Someone has already asked a new question with [network] on it.

  • @Jon Seigel: Ah did not know that feature had been added. I created the requested synonym.

  • Excellent. Thanks. FYI: when you add a synonym, currently all questions with the source tag aren't retagged automatically.

Personally I think this probably will need to wait until tag synonyms are available. Until synonyms or a blacklist is available people will continue to use the [network] tag.

I did some research on that topic. I found no evidence that there were differences in usage of both terms. So I've gone ahead and merged the [network] tag into the (more often used) [networking] tag.
