I'd like to add something to your third bullet: If you don't have VTC rights, if you find questions that you think deserve closure during your tag searches, cast recommend closure flags against them so that those who do have VTC rights can see those in the review queue and cast close votes against them if needed.

Oh, and once you think you've removed a tag, you may not be done yet! Go back to your search query, add locked:1 to it, and flag those locked questions containing the tag so that they can be removed. Remember, locked questions (except those locked as merge stubs or migration stubs) don't show up in tag searches by default, so adding locked:1 will bring up those locked questions.

Devs can migrate questions even if they are older than 60 days. This was done as part of the MSO-MSE split (migrating old SO-specific questions from the old MSO, now MSE, to the new MSO). Do mods sometimes ask devs to do such?

Some other questions: Should we temporarily reinstate the old privilege that allowed 0.5k+ rep users to edit tags without having to go into the suggested edits queue during these weekends? Should we extend inline tag editing abilities (normally only given to 10k+ users, I think) to all such users with the ability to edit tags without being reviewed (0.5k+ or 2k+)?

@JourneymanGeek Could you also tag the company tags cleanup request as approved because it is being actively being pursued by the community?

+1 for asking a good support question. -1 for hiding windows-8.

Speaking of which, the Community randomly "pokes" (bumps) two "unanswered" questions (without any uprooted or accepted answer) every hour, so this helps clear out the list of unanswered questions.

Correct version of @allquixotic's comment: "Editing bumps it to the front page. It's not guaranteed to yield an answer, but it helps"

Speaking of which, it used to be that mods would merge spam users into a special user called the "deposit" user, but they no longer do, both because of this, and because "there are better methods now than merging into the deposit user".

@sunk818 See Braiam's comment on Chenmunka's answer.

@laggingreflex That banner means that there are pending duplicate close votes or recommend closure flags against it, but not enough to close it. Remember, if you see no "marked as duplicate" banner (or "put on hold" or "closed" for that matter) just below your question, it's not closed.

@RobinHood From what I can see, it's misused by many people for the company. Not everyone sees the tag wikis. This is why I hate double-meaning tags.

I should also mention that I've seen it also used as a typo tag for tablet.

Should we blacklist it too?
