Merging tags [wifi] and [wlan]

Question

Similar to this, I do not see a difference between wlan and wifi.
Especially this answer says it all.

There is a difference being that wlan is commonly used to refer to the interface name, but whether a significant one.. — prusswan, Commented Jul 18, 2014 at 10:18
@prusswan The fact that it might be taken to refer to the interface name (the tag has no description) is probably another good reason to get rid of it -- should we have tags like wlp6so or em1 too? wifi + lan should cover it...actually I notice lan only has one question, so a lot of those wlan ones probably do involve wlan0. — goldilocks, Commented Jul 18, 2014 at 14:16

There aren't that many wlan questions. I think the best approach here is to manually retag them and let the system purge the tag.
