Q&A How can I remove a 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 w...

Not in the forseeable future. Building a system to A-B test new features takes time, as does the analysis afterwards. While we're still a small team, it's more effective for us to collect feedback ...
