We have two tags:

I don't really see a reason to keep written-conventions as a separate tag. It seems to cover pretty much the same topic.

Should I merge this tag into orthography? Or is there a difference I don't know about?

    We also have a spelling tag, which could also be merged into orthography. All (on-topic) questions about spelling will be about Japanese orthography, so...

  • The only complaint I have is that "orthography" is a rather technical term, but I don't have a better suggestion.

  • @DariusJahandarie But tag synonyms appear "live" when selecting the tag and the tag excerpt should explain the word orthography enough for someone to choose it. How about renaming written-conventions to writing-conventions before merging?

  • That seems reasonable to me!

I'm for merging (and keeping as main tag).

(I haven't found much about what "written conventions" is supposed to mean in English. In fact, our little tag is on the first page of Google's search results for "written conventions". "Writing conventions" seems to be used synonymously with orthography, although some websites suggest it may also include grammar, but for questions about grammar we have already.)

    Okay! :-) I renamed written-conventions to writing-conventions, then merged it into orthography.
