How can tags that are misspelled be deleted? There is a tag plagarism as well as the correctly spelled plagiarism. It seems setting the misspelled as synonymous would not be a useful way out.

Posting here is exactly what you should do. I just set up a synonym so that anyone who uses the misspelling will automatically have it corrected. Do note that if it's an uncommon issue you can just correct the tag yourself.

Thanks. I was a bit confused when I could not suggest it myself (because the mispelled did not have enouh uses, as I understood it). Aug 22, 2013 at 16:47

3@Peter: note that if a tag isn't heavily used, you can just edit it out - the system deletes unusued tags once a day.– Shog9Aug 22, 2013 at 21:45

1@Stuart - that's a one-off misspelling, rather than a common misspelling. Those are corrected by simply correcting the tag. Tag aliases are intended to correct common misspellings and identify true aliases; in the case of one-offs, it's easier just to fix the offending tag.– eykanalAug 27, 2013 at 0:14

no, it's been used several times and has an attached wiki, and bizarrely no one is using the correct spelling. academia.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/…– StuartAug 27, 2013 at 1:35
