Tags not combined in months

Assuming that combining is automatic after a pair of tags has passed the voting threshold and the designated few weeks have passed, the process hasn't been happening for a long while. There are currently over 8,000 approved/dismissed pairs, some of which go back six or more months ago.

Thanks, I'll ask about this!

Combined.

>3 timspalding: There's still over 9,000 pairs over the threshold. Does it take some time to actually combine them and clear the list of approved pairs because right now there is no difference?

IIRC it's a process that has to be started manually and takes some time -- but not this long (36+ hours). Maybe it stalled or something?

(ETA: Reopened.)

This is certainly not fixed. Currently 9092 above decision threshold.

Thanks. I lowered the standards for closing, from a margin of 7 to a margin of 4. (And the number voting "yes" must be at more than four times the number voting no.) But I changed it only one place. 9k tags have been combining and I'm running it through the system.

Now at 22. Thank you.

Yes, all done now, thanks. It was getting to a point where I was starting to propose the same things only to discover I already did months ago and not only forgot all about it, but the links no longer show as visited to tip me off.

Marking as fixed.
