Sometimes when I edit a question, I choose a tag but it doesn't taken into account. Is someone can tell me why some tags are changed automatically?

For example, I have edited a question by addind the url-format tag but it's changed to url tag.

    Can you give an example? My guess is that the tag is a synonym of the one that replaced it.

Some tags are "synonyms" of other tags. If you use one of those tags, they will be automatically changed to their synonym. For example becomes . You can see the list here: https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/tags/synonyms
