Remove the [asp] tag or link the [asp] tag to either [asp-classic] or [asp.net]

Question

On Stack Overflow, the asp tag was made a synonym of asp-classic since that is generally what is meant. Looking over the 8 that are were tagged here as asp shows a similar pattern of usage. (though I should add that most weeks we still end up with a dozen or so that meant asp.net...)

This was done as most of the time asp was being used by people who were unaware that there were two different technologies that that tag was referring to.

Here's some of the related discussion from the main Meta.SO:

• Classic Re-Tag Discussion on some good ole ASP (Classic)
• Let's Ban the [ASP] Tag on StackOverflow!
• Where'd the [asp] tag go, and why did it come back?

I would suggest making a similar change here and removing all the asp and changing to asp-classic or asp.net as appropriate. And maybe borrowing the text from the tag wiki for asp-classic and asp.net.

I'd fix it, but I'm a little short on the rep requirement... I did some suggested edits/flags for the 6 that were there.

So, the cleanup has been done. There are no questions tagged as asp.

From Let's Ban the [ASP] Tag on StackOverflow! the next step would appear to be making it a tag synonym.

From Stack Overflow a screen shot of https://stackoverflow.com/tags/synonyms

Which is probably what we should have too.

The way to do this would be to go to the asp-classic tag and navigate to synonyms - https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/tags/asp-classic/synonyms

The requirements for suggesting and voting on this are:

Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can suggest tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can vote for tag synonyms. Suggestions will be automatically approved when they reach a score of 4, and automatically deleted when they reach a score of -2.

Since I've got nothing in the asp tag for answers or questions, I can't vote on this one (or suggest it).

And asp-classic its not that highly asked of a question area - https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/tags/asp-classic/topusers so there aren't many who do have the necessary rep to cast votes.

Its probably up to a mod to do this, if it is modable.
