Can replace a tag I accidentally created?
I tried to tag a post "Flint's", and I got "flint" and "s" instead. I tried to delete the tags and enter "flints", but Stack Exchange says it's too close to "flint" and won't let me do it.

Why is "leftovers" a tag-synonym for "culinary-uses" if the description for culinary uses explicitly says it's not for leftovers?

First (and only) tag that comes up if you type in "leftov."

While editing a new question, I wanted to add the "shelf-life" tag. There is no such tag (I should know this by now, having tried to use it several times.) Eventually I found the "Storage-lifetime" ...

Merge [mortar], [pestle], and [mortar-pestle]
These three tags are pretty blatantly about the same piece of equipment:
mortar
pestle
mortar-pestle
I propose them to be merged. I prefer mortar-pestle to be the parent tag as it minimises ...

Is there a reason to have both a [history] tag and a [food-history] tag?
These tags are not broadly used - though this is not exactly unexpected, as we tend to focus on applied cooking than on cooking history.

There are 5 refrigeration questions and 77 refrigerator questions. I can't think of anything that would really distinguish between them. Even questions about buying a fridge as opposed to what to put ...
