If I want to scan the list of titles of all topics on meta about 'questions', then I need to do that twice (once for each tag, questions and asking-questions).
Could one of them be synonymized or merged with the other (I don't know which)?

I'm not quite sure about this one. After comparing the questions, I can see some differences:
- Questions tagged as asking-questions mostly involve asking about whether or not a certain question can be asked here.
- Questions tagged as questions involve things such as feature requests or anything else about existing questions (which are also not about specific-questions).
In this case, it seems that synonymizing or merging them would not make sense. Plus, MSO has these two tags separate, and the mechanics of these tags should still apply to per-site metas.

1\$\begingroup\$ In that case I think that Does my code example need to be compilable/runnable? should be asking-questions, not questions. Ditto meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/661/… and meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/213/… and meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/134/… \$\endgroup\$– ChrisWFeb 2, 2014 at 1:27

\$\begingroup\$ All the [questions] are boring now (except the [best-of] [fun] questions). If I want to know site-specific policy about asking questions (e.g. what's on-topic) I can just read [asking-questions]. \$\endgroup\$– ChrisWFeb 2, 2014 at 1:42

\$\begingroup\$ Could you edit both tag wikis to point out the difference? \$\endgroup\$ Feb 2, 2014 at 4:54
