Meta tag cleanup: delete unused ones, delete misspelled ones, add icons and move to correct tag groups?

Can some tags be deleted, if the last time it was used was 2 years ago?

For example, size-s, size-m, (not even used) size-l, and (also never used) size-xl.

Then, there are some tags which are misspelled. An example is phbb, which seems to be a mistake of phpbb.

Then, it seems like hcaptcha does not have an icon, and is placed in the Other Tags tag grpup, instead of the Official Plugins tag group. Furthermore, graphviz is missing its icon, while topic-list-author is in the Other Tags tag grpup instead of the Official Theme Components tag group.

That’s not all! horizon-theme is missing its icon, the discourse-translator tag exists for no reason since the translator tag exists.

Wait! There’s more. The ai-artifacts and ai-custom-prompt are placed in the Other Tags tag group, when they should be in the Discourse AI Features tag group instead. Additionally, the sidebar-tags tag is in the Official Plugins tag group and not in the Official Theme Components tag group.

I apologize in advance if this is being too nitpicky.

some of those tags that appear to you as never used are being used in private categories. but yes, tags need some maintenance. thanks.

Thanks, Nate! Appreciate your attention to detail. As Lilly says, many of these tags are used in various ways not visible to the public. In private categories and personal messages with customers. I look forward to bringing some order to the /tags page!

I just tried adding phpbb to the topics currently tagged phbb and it did not work for some reason. That’s weird. phpbb is in the Migrations tag group but that tag group doesn’t limit who can use the tag.
