How can I remove a tag? [duplicate]

This question has been addressed elsewhere. See: How can tags be deleted?

This question was closed; new answers can no longer be added. Users with the reopen privilege may vote to reopen this question if it has been improved or closed incorrectly.

I have just realized that a tag is redundant: angular-2+ since we have one for [angular] (as opposed with the old flavor, [angularjs]).

I have removed it from the only question and I want to remove it. How can I do that?

P.S. I have just realized that I can merge these two, but a direct removal would still make sense (it is also not clear what tag wiki goes to the merged tag).

There is no way to delete a tag as such at the moment. You can, however, merge a redundant tag into its equivalent (in this case, merging angular-2+ into angular would work). The tag being merged will be removed from posts and deleted; the tag it's merged into will keep any tag wiki it already has.

Are there any plans of having unused tags "age away" and delete themselves like on SE? It was quite handy, since the community could remove tags without involving moderators.
