Considering that we're attempting to short circuit some of the usual things we normally in order to clean up the site on our first, very experimental tag cleanup weekend.

The cleanup will be running from 2014-09-27 00:00:00 to 2014-09-28 00:00:00 UTC.

I've set up a room for coordinating these things for the actual day and this may be useful for discussion and getting things done faster.Popping in, saying "I'm clearing out the frobulator tag" and then letting folk know you're done with that is a great idea if you're going to go all out on the edits, or to suggest that we put a question out of our misery.

Our Front page is likely to be covered with edits so using the questions page would be advised if you're not taking part in the cleanup. Apologies to any new users who've just come across this - Its not something we do often.

I'd suggest not taking the lazy way out and using an automated tag edit script - one of the goals here is to see if an organised, coordinated cleanup actually works.

I'm attempting to decide on various things we may have trouble with and how best to make sure we do this in an orderly way. I'll be consolidating things to a single post, but feel free to chip in on ideas.

I'd like a bit of input on a few things specifically

• Should we be a little more lenient on minor edits or non edits on retags?
• Should we encourage flagging, and off-label non flagged deletions if you're out of flags It makes sense to kill these off rather than retagging?
• Considering we have many tags, should we have people focus on one tag each, and clean them out as much as possible?
