Q: How to differentiate between (elementary-number-theory) and (number-theory)

Martin SleziakThe tags elementary-number-theory and number-theory have been recently mentioned in this question: There are 1,732 questions tagged both elementary-number-theory and number-theory However, in that question these two tags serve only as an illustration of a more general issues. In this post I'd lik...

Q: Questions with favourite tag no longer displayed

Georges ElencwajgThe questions tagged (algebraic geometry) are no longer displayed in blue on my screen, although that tag is among my favourite tags. I tried (through the edit) to suppress that tag from my favourites and then reinstall it, but to no avail. The other tags seem to be ok, so that questions tagge...

As I wrote in the question: I should say that, in my opinion, the distinction between these two tags should not be based on difficulty, but rather on the content of the questions.
So I cannot rely on Jyrki's algorithm:
I have noticed this, too. I occasionally hunt these down, and edit the tags. My conservative estimate (no actual data I'm afraid) is that in 90% of the cases I either removed the NT tag, or replaced it with ENT. The rule of thumb is that if I can answer the question without rubbing the three grey cells together real hard it is ENT. Not foolproof, and the algorithm is still evolving — Jyrki Lahtonen ♦ 2 days ago

I am not sure how many people look into this room. In any case, if the posts from feeds seem like too much noise and they might interrupt useful discussion, just let me know and I will remove them from the room.

The original tag management thread was CW. Pros? Cons? Should the new one be CW, too?
 
This may have been due to automatic conversion (30 answers) which is no longer in force. Or maybe due to the question being disassociated from the OP, to stop the notifications. Either way, I think CW is not necessary for its own sake.
