Oh we had plenty of boring topics too. But the cool ones were Bridge to Terabithia, Holes, and Brave New World/Bladerunner. Those were books (and movies) that I genuinely remembering enjoying. At least before we started the actual literary analysis of them :D

@SPArcheon-onstrike I liked the book, but studied it in highschool, so I don't need to revisit it haha

@ElementsInSpace I've gone ahead and made the main tag elder-scrolls-4-oblivion-remastered, added a whole bunch of synonyms too.

@Nzall I don't think the problem is widespread enough to warrant a banner on Arqade, IMO. But I am open to counter-opinions - if many people think the banner would be helpful then we should do it. :)

Q: Expanding tag names for Pokémon

The second thing to note, as @Ash covered, 4 votes isn't exactly a majority. (It's actually 6 up, 2 down, which is worse because it means there's disagreement)

Q: Pocket Edition is now Bedrock. Why PE is not a synonym? When should the PE tag be used?

As of Sept. 9, Minecraft Windows 10 beta is identical to Pocket Edition. Most questions regarding either pertain to the other, with the exception of minor technicalities such as savegame location (which are already there within the PE tag). Back when the Windows 10 version was one patch ahead of...

@ExpertCoder14 Have a look at this meta (especially the first few revisions). It listed specific, actionable steps that needed to happen to resolve the issues. This is the one which jump-started the minecraft tag cleanup. What you might've missed is the 4-6 or so earlier metas and discussions that ultimately said the same thing, but which were less "let's do this" and more "should we do this?" or "what should we do here?".

Mod team discussed & clarified the Screenshot of the Week theme description: "the theme for this week is Game of the Year 2020, so go ahead and submit a screenshot from your favorite game of 2020. We'll leave the meaning of "of 2020" up to you, whether it's favorite release of the year or just the best one you played last year."

@ExpertCoder14 I personally think there's a line between "that's wrong, but nice try" and blatant rumor-mongering that only serves to confuse less-experienced players. If Silk Touch 2 was a real, bona-fide thing you could get, and the answer was simply wrong about it's application, that would be worthy of downvoting but not deleting. The fact is, Silk Touch 2 simply doesn't exist, leaving it on the site is of no benefit to future readers.

Depending on the length of the journey and your confidence on the road, it might be cheaper to pay a rental hire company for a truck, load up, and make the day-or-so trip manually in the truck. Alternatively if things don't have to arrive the same day you do, consider slower forms of shipping/posting rather than priority/air travel.
