Type

General question or discussion
Propose a brand new feature
Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

When I'm adding a page to my snapshots, I usually don't remember all the tags I already have. When I'm scrolling through my tags, I then often notice duplicate tags, e.g. where I used another spelling, or one German and one English tag, etc.

(Using the :latest docker image btw.)

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

I want to merge those tags. It would be nice if I could select multiple tags, click a "Merge" button and get to a screen where I can type in how the new tag should be called. That tag is then assigned all articles of the former tags.

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Make a list of articles in an old tag, delete it and re-add it to the other one.

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future – I'm slowly but surely getting more and more tags
It would be nice to have eventually

I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up

I might invest some dev time at one point, but right now, I can't say when I might have time for that.

Go to Tags list page and click the "# snapshots" to go to the list of snapshots with that tag
Select all the snapshots with the checkbox in the upper left
Add the new tag (Create it here /admin/core/tag/add/ if it doesn't exit yet)
Remove the old tag
