yesterday, by Martin Sleziak
We have not heard anything from any of the mods in the discussion about blacklisting algebra tag. I believe that after the point that the issue is discussed by MSE users, the rest is up to moderators and their communication with SE. Is that correct?
@robjohn I tried to ask this yesterday, but no of the mods answered to that. (I saw you and Mariano here in chat.)

@MartinSleziak I have been away for a few days with some unavoidable personal issues. Sorry

Well, the only think I'd like to know is whether there is something else I should do. (I feel kind of responsible for that since I started the thread, also I am not in favor of blacklisting.) Or whether at this point I can leave the issue to the mods.
@robjohn You've mentioned that here in chat. I am sorry to hear about that.

@MartinSleziak I'd much rather see some diambiguation solution. It's more helpful.

You mean implementing that feature request from the other thread?
That would be nice.
robjohn

@MartinSleziak Of course that is up to the developers, not the mods.

@robjohn Now you're talking about blacklisting or feature request?
robjohn
robjohn
The mods can present that thread to the devs and hope for the best :-)
The disambiguation

I guess SE team checks other metas for feature-request, too.

@Jayesh Up for a chat about Linux, Ubuntu, TeX?
robjohn
robjohn
they do, but it helps if we prod them :-)
Martin Sleziak
Martin Sleziak
ok. We will see what happens.
At least removing algebra tag makes me feel that I am doing something useful, when I procrastinate here at MSE.

@MartinSleziak It's not something that will happen overnight. code changes take a while.

@JayeshBadwaik Just a few minutes. I will be here...

@kan okay.
@MartinSleziak algebra can be synonnymed to mean algebra-precalculus. This way, people who know the difference in the level of algebra-precalculus and other forms of algebra would not use that tag (undergraduate and above) and people for whom the only algebra is algebra-precalculus (high school level) will not have to learn new terminology by default (although it is a small job of looking up algebra-precalculus but still.)

Perhaps it could be good to suggest this at meat, so that we know what other people think about this?
Jayesh Badwaik
Jayesh Badwaik
@MartinSleziak Hmm. I will post it as a comment to your question?
Martin Sleziak
Martin Sleziak
Algebra disambiguation tag or The use of the algebra tag seem to me a reasonable places, where this could be mentioned.
I think it's better than opening a new thread. (There are already many threads on algebra tag.)
@JayeshBadwaik My opinion is that posting an answer would be better than posting a comment.

@MartinSleziak Okay. I will post an answer on the use of algebra tag question.

More people will notice an answer than a comment and they can upvote/downvote/comment to show what they think about it.

Jayesh Badwaik
@MartinSleziak Yup.
