Do we have any experts on "applications"?
This is clearly a meta tag – no reason to have it really. This is Super User, a site for questions about computer hardware and software. Applications are software, so the tag really makes no ...

Does [bricked] need to be bricked?
Yes, since it's currently applied to many different things (routers, BIOS, SSDs, even Windows), nobody can be an expert in all things bricked. It's kind of like saying something's broken - not helpful ...

Disconnect the [intermittent] tag
Yeah, it gives no useful information at all. And its small enough not to flood the front page. I'd be inclined to wait a day or two, and if no one has a good reason to keep it, nuke it.

Potential Tag Merge/Synonym: [msiexec] -> [windows-installer]?
Agreed. Since the msiexec tags should have windows-installer tags in any case, I've gone ahead and started tagging them as such too.

Merge [bugcheck] into [bsod]
TLDR: burninate bugcheck, retag to bsod

Is application-error an error?
I say burninate application-error.

Popping the [party] tag
We had a party tag. It was unambigiously a meta tag, and only had 3 posts using it. One was grossly off topic. The other two did not suffer from lack of it.
The party is over.

Please merge [tag:extended-desktop] [tag:multiple-desktop]
Although extend-display would be the most correct in my opinion, I feel like a lot of people would use extend-desktop if they didn't think about it. But the tag usage frequency seems to prove me wrong....
