Please remove all the 'com_unity_something' tags, duplicate tags, and reduce tag count overall

I’d say 95% of them are empty, and if I recall correctly users can’t even choose them for new topics. Yet they clutter up filter lists like this one:

Even worse if you go into Preferences => Tracking and try to watch tags you’re interested in.

Anything that helps collate tags and reduce the number of total tags, especially duplicates, would go a long way in reducing the tag clutter.

As to tags with content in it (eg cm_unity_purchasing) please retag them appropriately since there’s Unity-In-App-Purchases as a tag too.

I see other options for reducing the tag count too, such as removing tags of older Unity betas since these probably bear no relevance anymore, and have few posts anyway.

Honestly, I think we don’t even need xxxx-x-beta and xxxx-x tags since both can be considered equivalent at the time of writing, and distinguishing beta from non-beta posts loses relevancy with the release of the non-beta (one can judge from the date that it must refer to an early version).

You know what? I want to visualize the scope of the tag count issue. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

So here’s each and every one of them:

























Ah, that felt satisfying. :grin:

Something needs to be done about this! A large number of them have (0) posts.
