As one can see on our tags page, we have a lot of rather useless tags that should be cleaned:

tags for only 1-2 articles are useless (unless they are for recently started campaigns)
sometimes more than one tag covers the same issue (e.g. women/feminism or annual-report/annualreport)
tags like "2013" are completely senseless IMHO
unify way how we write tags: CamelCase'ed tags seem to appear duplicated on the tags page (is this a bug?)

I propose to make a rigorous cleanup of such tags. This is a task which can be shared by multiple people if they coordinate well.

Some tools

To make finding, deleting, or replacing tags easier, I collect a few bash lines which automate things:

Finding files containing a tag

tag=article
git grep -li "<tag.*key=\"$tag\""

Replacing a tag with another

Requirement: install git-sed (see my blog about this tool)

oldtag=heartbleed
newtag=security
git sed -f gi "(<tag.*key=\")$oldtag(\")" "\1$newtag\2"

Here, you should take care that the newtag is not already a tag of the file.

Deleting a tag

tag=aa
for file in $(git grep -li "<tag.*key=\"$tag\""); do sed -i "/<tag.*key=\"$tag\"/Id" $file; done

I suggest that we write tags like we would write HTML identifiers: all lowercase with a dash (-) separating words if that is helpful for readability. For example, "koalition-freies-wissen" rather than "KoalitionFreiesWissen" or "koalitionfreieswissen".
