Synonyms for term/terminal/term-mode and ansi-term

term and terminal had verbatim identical tag wikis, so they clearly are intended to be used as synonyms. I think term-mode is also a synonym, as I can't think of a situation where a question would ...

Propose [pairing] be defined as pair programming

Synonym of ess tags? Any better way to ask?

As far as I can see, the ess equals the emacs-speaks-statistics tag. Could you make one a synonym for the other? Furthermore, is this the only way for me to ask that question since I don't have ...

Remove the 'init' tag? [duplicate]

So I found this init tag, and it does not have a tag wiki, and only one follower. It seems to be a synonym of init-file. Should we merge them, or is there some other use for this tag at the moment?

Would we prefer [dotemacs], [.emacs], [init.el] or [init-file]?

Obviously, we only need a single tag referring to the init file. Currently, there are several questions using dotemacs (which is a fine name), and one using init (which is less fine, but it might be ...
