Duplicate tag [vms] and [openvms]
It should be synonymed the other way around. The product was originally VMS and then it became OpenVMS which I believe it is still called. Other than that I don't see any real reason not to do this.

Whence the [language] and [languages] tags?
I can't see any good reason why either of these tags exists. As far as I'm concerned, they can be burninated.

Let's patch up the [patch] tag!
This isn't a widely used tag, getting under 120 questions after 12 years. But the confusion in there is clear. I'm fine with weeding it, and sorting what's in there between maybe patch-cable and ...

Duplicate tags [graylog] and [graylog2]
Seems legit. I also note that a lot of the questions tagged with one are also tagged with the other, which is often a giveaway. Let me get that fixed up...

Please rename freenas tag to truenas
And we have zero truenas questions in the database that I can see. Nice branding strategy. This should be doable.

Please silently tag rocky-linux
The only silent-retag tooling available is by staff, not moderators. I've been reviewing the search and there are a number of questions that are already at the five tag limit. This is in part due to ...

Duplicate tag [service] and [services]
I had a quick look at the questions using those tags and I agree that there is not real distinction between service and services.
I have merged the tags and created the tag synonym mapping services →...

Help with mass retagging of FTP related posts
What's the best way to get these old posts retagged, en masse, without causing issues?
There isn't one, until you get enough rep that your edits are auto-approved and you therefore have control over ...

Create [hostgator] tag?
Shared hosting isn't on topic here anyway, so questions about it should just be cleaned up and closed.
For the few people who might have a VPS or dedicated server from Hostgator, it's a bit less ...

Duplicate tag [vms] and [openvms]
Creating synonym is overkilling it: it needs 5 users with a score of 5 on the said tag to be done, or a moderator (the last one is very busy) compared with a single retag that requires 2 minutes and a ...

Proposal for rename of tcp-offload-engine tag
Sounds reasonable to me. If there's no objections in the next few days, I'll make the change. Maybe remind me, @juhist, in case I forget. <grin>

Are these essentially the same tags?
I wouldn't. Even when Office 365 contains Exchange Online, Exchange Online could be subscribed as a standalone service which don't necessarily have the Office Suite apps.

Is [filter] about [filtering]?
I waited long to answer you as I'm uncertain for that one. I'm in between, as it could mean two distinct thing, but I see your case where each are used interchangeably.
From my understanding filter ...

Should the Tag #ansible-playbook be merged into the Tag #ansible?
I believe I suggested a while ago to mark ansible-playbook as a synonym of ansible but the suggestion didn't receive enough votes.
While I believe that, strictly technical speaking, ansible, ansible-...

Should the Tag #ansible-playbook be merged into the Tag #ansible?
My (extremely) understanding of the Ansible ecosystem is that "Ansible" by itself most properly refers to the entire suite of Ansible-related tools, with most people understanding that saying "ansible"...

Rename and add tag synonym for [tag:windows-subsystem-linux] like the remaining stackexchange sites
I don't see a problem to rename the tag. It's more logic to rename it to the real name.
It's done.
