I've flaggged the question about blacklisting the tag (graph) for moderators' attention.

The question is now approximately one month old and it received a lot of upvotes. It might be the time to move questions to another tag and to do the suggested blacklisting.

I am answering to @Willie Wong's comment from here. I've decide to answer in chat, since this will be a little longer than a comment.

@Martin: saw your flag. We would need to rename the tag before we black list it (I think). It looks like from the votes below the new name is (graphing-functions); I don't have a problem with that. But before we do the mass rename, we should find the ones that don't fit per your own comment meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/8729/… and manually rename them. The only way to do that is to go through the list slowly over the next few days.

Once the manual retags are done, ping me again (or any other mod) and we can rename the tag to (graphing-functions), set up the appropriate synonyms, and request the blacklist for (graph).

I've retagged the questions mentioned here.

There are also questions tagged graph+graph-theory, most of which probably should be retagged.

And there also might be many other questions in graph, which are tagged incorrectly and we did not notice them.

But, in my opinion, that retagging can be done after the mass-renaming.

(Even after the blacklisting.)

@MartinSleziak So long as it gets done, I guess it is fine.

Let me take a quick look and possibly do the rename now.

ok

I've removed the questions where the tag was being used in the "broader sense".

I do not know about more questions of that kind.

I guess that after the mass-renaming and blacklisting is done, you will post about it on meta.

What do you think about these two? math.stackexchange.com/questions/122780/… math.stackexchange.com/questions/110227/…

they are the only ones from the [graph]+[graph-theory] list that I cannot immediately say which (or both) of the tags should stay.

Well, if we are not going to use the tag (graph) in broader sense (which seems to be the case, if the new name is (graphing-functions)), then the tag (graph) should not be used here.

But I am afraid it will be difficult to find a different appropriate tag.

I should add that both questions are rather unclear to me; I am not sure who is to blame here - the formulation of the question or my lack of knowledge.

I think a big chunk of the problem is in the formulation. I'll remove the [graph] tag from them.

That seems very reasonable.

"I need a description as an algebraic structure (graph, neighbors, connections, edges, degree, etc.)"

Did we ever come to a conclusion about what the "broader sense of graph" (as subset of $D\times R$ for $f:D\to R$) should be tagged as?

This seems much more as graph in graph-theoretical sense than a graph of a function.

Almost no users voted in the thread which I started about this question.

But since most votes for new name were for (graphing-functions), (graphing), (plotting) - or something similar - I'd say that users who voted for those names prefer to have only such questions in that tag.

I have already retagged the ones I knew about and left a link to the thread about blacklisting as an explenetion. For example here.

I see that you have already retagged the remaining questions from graphing-functions+graph-theory.

Yes.

I retagged, posted an answer on the Meta discussion indicating the change, edited your poorly loved question to include a banner.

I will send a e-mail requesting the black list.

Anything else I need to do?

I don't think so.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Okay, e-mail sent. Ideally this will be implemented sometime in the next day. Cheers

Have a nice day!

The tag-wiki for graph is already invisble to me; I see only begging of it on Google: Given a function $f$ defined on a domain $X$ with co-domain $Y$, the graph of $f$ is the subset $\mathop{Gr}(f)\subseteq X\times Y$ given by the set of ordered

But this kind of tag-wiki is not a good fit for the tag about graphing function.

It would be appropriate for the tag used in the broader sense.

The last 4 questions on meta are about tagging. It almost gives an impression that it is the most discussed thing there. (But situation like this is quite unusual.)

@MartinSleziak Now if only main's question rate were the same as meta's... :D
