maps is now the master and map is a synonym.

This is done. I ended up performing the following steps: Retagged a few questions that were using unlocking inappropriately Renamed unlocking to sim-unlocking Made sim-locked a synonym of sim-unlocking since it was only used a few times and always in the same context Made screen-unlock and unlock-screen synonyms of lock-screen.

I don't know, whereas screen and display were really just different ways of saying the same thing,and were proper synonyms. These all seem like specific cases where a specific aspect or behaviour is being asked about. I think people are likely to search for "screen timeout" or "screen brightness" so these are useful tags. Though as the one question in ...

I am undecided. This are two different things, although there are very few questions. I would let them separated for a while and see how things go.

In favor. Normally I would say different apps. but Angry Birds is Angry Birds. :)

firmware could relate not just to the system firmware, but - as you already noted - also the radio/wifi/camera/etc. firmware. That prevents me from liking the idea. In the past, if we had an ambiguous tag we specialized the name(s). I would preferably blacklist firmware and introduce system-firmware or device-firmware. See also: My answer on "Merge '...

I merged these tags and made wifi-hotspot the master since: It was the more popular of the two It will be included a bit more visibly (as in, not just as a synonym) in the autocomplete this way If we ever need to differentiate between different types of hotspots in the future (unlikely, but I suppose somewhat feasible) then we just need new tags of the form ...

Good catch. recovery is now a synonym of recovery-mode.

Done, I agree with your assessment.

Agreed, done.

Since screen-share and screen-sharing are so similar I didn't synonymize, just kept the latter. If you start typing the former, the latter should pop up before you finish. share and sharing should now be empty and should be automatically deleted in 24 hours or so. One related case I found was file-sharing. I'm not sure if this is necessarily a good tag ...

Clearly some of the "tasks" questions need re-tagging. I'm not convinced, though, that "tasks" should be a synonym of "to-do". That Android has "task managers" and "task killers" strongly implies that "tasks" = "running Android processes". It seems that "tasks" is just one of those ambiguous terms we should steer people away from. I suppose that as long as ...

Sounds good. I like the proposal.

This synonym had actually already been suggested, so I went ahead and approved it (and merged the tags).

Good catch. Merged and synonym created.

Merged and synonymized. Thanks.

Synonym created and went ahead and merged freeze-app into disable-app

Done, thanks for catching this.

I would agree as the trend is that external SD-Card is being dropped, Sony, HTC, Samsung... list goes on, maybe we are witnessing the end-of-days for those micro-sd readers embedded on a smartphone due to the production costs and that NAND storage is more cheaper to integrate.

Nooooooo. They are not the same.

I don't think so. They're certainly related, but an "ext4" solution will not apply to "ext2" and vice-versa. It just doesn't "feel" right to me.

I merged these and made signal the master, since it appears to be the more popular of the two.

The difference between GSM and CDMA phones is pretty major. I'm not sure that synonymizing them makes sense despite their other similarities.

Done!

I did this the other way around (making memory a synonym of ram) because I agree with Matthew's comment: All 69 questions with memory talk about RAM and not internal storage? Seems unlikely, I've seen them confused more often than not (sadly). If anything I'd merge the reverse direction for clarity. memory is simply not a great tag. It invites people to ...

Done.

I believe that these are actually different things: wifi-hotspotcould represent any wifi network, or a public 'wifi hotspot'. wifi-tethering would mainly represent the actual process of tethering, or creating a hotspot. As such, I don't think they should be merged.

I agree that they don't need to be distinct. I've merged them into networking. A synonym wouldn't work since "network access" is a subset of "networking".

Yes, we should merge the two: localization should be the merge target, translation should become its synonym.

Sorry for short-circuiting your vote, but this seemed pretty clear-cut to me since most of the translation questions were in fact localization questions. I've merged and synonymized. I think languages is alright to stay separate since it seems like a proper subset of localization, but I'm open to other options.
