Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
ban the dvar-torah tag in the Divrei Torah category
A bunch of posts in the Divrei Torah category are tagged "dvar-torah". Taggedness with this tag is wholly duplicative of category membership, so I recommend detagging (perhaps it would be easier server-side) now and forever.

The tag can be removed server-side. I agree it's a pointless tag in that category. The Divrei Torah category shares tags with the Q&A and Challenges categories, so removing the tag would affect all categories that use it. It doesn't look like any other category does use it, and I would expect a question (in Q&A) about divrei torah to use the plural not the singular, so it looks to me like this wouldn't have any unfortunate consequences.
We'd like to see a request from a mod (here or in chat, doesn't matter).
Update: We've removed the tag in the database, but can't currently prevent it from coming back. If it does come back and is only used a few times, a workaround is for a moderator to first remove it from the questions where it's used and then merge it into any other tag. (Or, if there's only one use, merge it into some other tag on that post.) Merging doesn't leave a synonym behind. (Do look carefully to make sure you get the direction of the merge right.)
