  • 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.

  • 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.)
