@Dominique - hey, I've taken a stab at rewriting your question with the additional information you shared in various comments, I hope that's ok. If not, please feel free to edit it further, or even rollback if it's not needed :)

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I figured this meta was coming from a place after seeing Slate's removal of [status-planned]. And I completely understand the use case of an 'in progress' tag, but I think there are other options (notably, filters). I have this saved as a filter on MSU, and similar filters configured on Arqade Meta for managing tag cleanup and other requests too.

Looks like it's been removed now :)

@JourneymanGeek Agreed. It could be time to revisit a cleanup event :)

Argh, I've just realised my request dupes this old one from years ago. In my defense, the title isn't a clear request (which is probably why it didn't show up when I searched).

Note that all that is required for this to happen, is a) enough community support to warrant making this change, and b) the site mods add the status-review tag to this question, which will place it in the CM's bucket to get to eventually.

@Slate cool thanks. Probably not needed in ^this case then, but there's plenty of others on SU which might be. Will keep it in mind :)

@Slate - Is mass-removal of a tag something that CMs can do? Or are you restricted to tag merge and synonyms like mods?
