Rather ironically, the OP on this question misspelled so we now have a tag called .

Verify the automatic language detection

How are these dealt with?

I didn't just want to retag it or as I'm not sure what that would then do with the orphaned tag.

You don't need to open a meta question or ask a mod for help with this kind of thing — just retag the question with the correct tag spelling. At 3:00 UTC all tags with zero questions are automatically deleted. A mod using the tag merge functionality creates a tag synonym, which is obviously incorrect in this scenario.

Tag merging to the rescue!

Fixed, thanks.

  • Thank you. In future would it be sufficient to to link to something like this in chat & see if a mod picks it up?

    We get notified if a post is flagged or a question is asked on Meta, so this works better than just posting to chat.

  • Can the pointless synonym be deleted now?

    That's the issue these days, isn't it? I use a computer so rarely now that I don't come here nearly as often as I once did.

    @Daniel Absolutely. Unfortunately the mod functions are hard to access/use from an iPhone
