How to get rid of the tag ordinals?

+2
−0

On my latest question, which was about ordinal numbers (often just called ordinals), I originally used the new tag ordinals. Later I noticed that ordinal-numbers would be a much better name for that tag. Since my question was still the only one using the tag, I simply retagged it, assuming that the now unused tag would eventually go away.

Now I noticed that the tag is still there. Therefore my question:

How to get rid of the tag ordinals?

We don't have a way to outright delete tags yet, but moderators can merge a tag into another tag. After confirming that ordinals still had 0 posts, I merged it into ordinal-numbers. You shouldn't see the former show up in tag suggestions now, and it's not visible in the tags list.
