user8486: Add:

site-policies, site-scope, voting, closing, main-tags, meta-tags
case-study — Interesting and controversial questions asked by users on the main site that cross or push the boundaries of the site scope.

Remove:

hyperlinks

Combine:

allowed-topics, acceptable-questions, off-topic, scope → site-scope
retagging, lumping-and-splitting → tags
asking-questions, specific-question → questions
close-reasons → closing
chat-sessions → chat
down-votes, up-votes → voting
winterbash-2014 → events
fillers → main-tags

Split:

tags → main-tags, meta-tags
vote-to-close → voting, closing


user1398: This is my opinion on some of the items in the question:

Done hyperlinks → external-links (since both questions on this tag are about external links)
retagging, lumping-and-splitting → retag-request
asking-questions → questions
asking-questions specifically refers to the process (the flow) of asking question on SE, but it seems people might mistag it with questions. I don't know if this retagging should be done or not.
Retain specific-question, which is used when the meta question is pertaining to a specific question on the main site.
vote-to-close → Close vote is a concept which deserves its own tag, so we should not split this tag.
On meta.SO, there are vote-to-close, closed-questions, close-reasons among a few other tags. I feel that it is not a good idea to copy this model, since it is quite confusing.
chat-sessions → Don't change this tag. It contains chat sessions about site policies.
winterbash-2014 → Just leave this tag alone.
Done fillers → I just killed this tag, since it doesn't look like a recurring meta topic.
