retag-request, tag-synonyms, tag-request and retagging all seem identical to me.
Can someone with enough reputation suggest them as synonymous?
They do have different purposes. The wikis for each should be have been updated to reflect that.
- retag-request is to request that one tag be renamed into another; this may also involve the creation of a synonym
- tag-synonyms is for questions about the tag synonym feature of Stack Exchange
- tag-request is to request creation of a tag that doesn't currently exist
- retagging has no questions, so it should get cleaned up by an automated process
If people are misusing these that's a problem with their descriptions, not that they themselves are synonyms.
I have improved the wiki and excerpt for tag-synonyms and the related synonym-request. tag-request has been changed on most other Stack Exchange sites to tag-creation; I've updated its wiki and excerpt and changed the three questions that had the old tag.
