There are two tags on my radar today: and

digital-signature is obvious and clearly defined (though, it still needs a description).

It's signature that is ambiguous. Almost all questions under that tag use it as a synonym for digital-signature. There are only a handful of questions that do not have to do with digital signatures (only some examples included):

Questions about signatures at the end of emails

There is already a tag for this type of use:

Questions about handwritten signatures in PDF documents

Such questions are rare, and I don't see anyone on SuperUser being an expert in "physical signatures", so I think the tag is unnecessary.

    There are only 61 questions tagged with signature. I have no problems manually going through them one by one, re-tagging them as needed, but I wanted to double check first, and I'd still need someone to modify the tag as my reputation is lower on SuperUser than on other StackExchange sites.

Maybe. There has been no community consensus as of this revision of this answer; thus there should not have been any mass-retagging (not yet, anyway).

That said, there are currently 4 questions tagged (down from 60). They are as follows:

Two about using handwritten signatures in digital documents:

One about using a static image (an “image signature”) as a form of signature analoguous to a handwritten signature:

One about the on-filesystem location of signature-related configuration for Microsoft Outlook:

    "Yes. It should, and I'm on it.". You don't get to decide by yourself to do a mass tag update. "If positive consensus is established, the request will be marked status-planned and the request will show up in the list of approved requests. The tag cleanup may then begin." from meta.superuser.com/tags/tag-cleanup-request/info. It's a community decision and has to be then approved by a moderator

  • @DavidPostill My apologies. That…makes a lot of sense, actually. This is the first I've heard of the process for that, though, and I have done this once in the past, hence my decision to take it up myself.

  • That was on Stack Overflow not Super User, but I expect they have a similar process ...

  • @DavidPostill I would expect that the processes would be (very nearly) the same for each site (except maybe differences between very large sites and the others, or public and private-beta sites). Else you just confuse everyone who doesn't keep to just one site…

  • @BlacklightShining - Your edits were rejected by the network for the reasons David explained. Wait until the community decides we want to do this.
