I'm aware that Arqade has disabled the automatic-tag-cleanup-after-6-months script (see Stop removing tags that are only used once in the last 6 months), but the Privileges Create Tags sub-page still warns people that this happens.

I've (hopefully) illustrated this quite clearly in this picture:

Yay for freehand circles!

    So wait, you've highlighted "moderator tools" in blue? That's what we're discussing here? – Turtleweezard Jul 8 '13 at 20:18

    Not easily fixed. Privilege wikis can be edited with enough rep, but only on Meta Stack Exchange and all other sites pull from that. I don't think you can edit it on a per-site basis. – a cat Jul 9 '13 at 21:00
  • @lunboks - Hmm. that's a shame. maybe we can petition to get it changed to be similar to how the closed/on hold page gets the custom close reasons. – Robotnik♦ Jul 9 '13 at 23:05

As of July 13, the master copy on MSO now reads (emphasis mine)

on some sites, new tags will be automatically culled and removed from the system if they are not used by at least 1 other question in a 6 month period.

The change hasn't appeared on this site's page yet, but it should happen soon. This is probably the best we can do given all sites currently share the same set of privilege page.
