@MartinSleziak Thanks a lot! So since these solutions have not been implemented yet, what is your suggestion how to deal with retagging on MSE when a new tag has been created? Doing it in small batches? Don't retag at all, only apply it to new questions? Announce the retagging on meta? Etc. — Martin Brandenburg 13 mins ago

Q: Tag management 2023-present

José Carlos SantosNew year, new tag management thread. Rules of the game are basically the same: Post your suggestion as an answer here if you see A particularly bad tag (a rule of thumb: “if I can't imagine a person classifying a tag as either interesting or ignored, I'm getting rid of it”), A tag that should b...

A: Question/suggestion about a tag (Kleinian groups)

hardmathThanks for posting here before unilaterally creating a new tag. I'm unfamiliar with the subject area and don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about its creation. Here are some topics that often come up when doing tag management (see this Meta Math SE post for examples). What is the ...

@JanOlavR I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you. Comments are for improving questions and it seems like your question would be better answerable by the community if you provided a modicum of concrete data, like the number of questions you're proposing to tag and explaining why the existing tags/search options aren't good enough. You are free to ignore everything I write. — postmortes 32 secs ago
Jul 9, 2024 12:08
One should keep in mind that there are only five slots for tags. If we created too many tags for very specialized topics, there will be questions where more than 5 of the existing tags are suitable. I will add that I did not find older occurrences of a tag for Kleinian groups - I posted the SEDE queries in the tagging chatroomMartin Sleziak 26 secs ago

@MartinSleziak ah, yes, you're right, I wasn't careful enough! Sorry -- and thank-you for double-checking :) — postmortes 1 min ago
Jul 9, 2024 12:02
I guess it is self-evident - but I will still point out that this is not a right place to discuss tags on MathOverflow; they have their own meta. (So we should stick with Mathematics.) @postmortes How exactly did you get 64 questions. I only get 33 results. Perhaps you searched for both questions and answers? — Martin Sleziak 43 secs ago
Jul 9, 2024 12:02
it is after all in MSC. (sorry for double commenting, I was too slow with the editing.) — Jan Olav R 20 mins ago
Jul 9, 2024 12:02
@postmortes That is a fair point. But there are existing tags with less hit on searches, like ackermann numbers (on overflow) and acyklic orientations. Do you disagree with me that it is a well-established mathematical subject? — Jan Olav R 27 mins ago
Jul 9, 2024 12:02
A quick search suggests that there are 64 questions about Kleinian groups on math.stackexchange and 135 on mathoverflow. These all seem to be tagged with some combination of hyperbolic-geometry and geometric-topology though other tags appear as well. On a site with actually hundreds of thousands of questions, are these numbers enough to warrant a special tag? — postmortes 2 hours ago

Q: Question/suggestion about a tag (Kleinian groups)

Jan Olav RI am a bit unsure if this should be posted here or in Mathematics, but I try it here. I was surprised to see that there was no "Kleinian groups"-tag at Mathematics and Mathoverflow. I would like to know why. Is it because it has been considered but turned down, or has it never been considered? If...

Should a tag for discussions related to AI-generated content be created on meta? On Meta Stack Exchange there is a tag called (chatgpt).

@XanderHenderson I edited the tag but I have a suggestion to replace the name of monotonic-functions by monotonicity if possible ,what do you think ? — pie yesterday
Jan 5, 2024 10:37
@XanderHenderson one suggestion is Questions about proving or finding the conditions for a function to be increasing, decreasing, or monotonic. This tag may also include questions about applications or consequences of monotonicity, such as convergence, optimization, or inequalities. — pie yesterday

Q: Give Tag synonyms their own review queue

Lance RobertsAs per Robert Harvey's suggestion here, lets have a review queue for tag synonyms. It should be filtered so that users will only be shown what they can vote on. This should help all those languishing tag synonyms.

Apr 18, 2023 15:10
My current suggestion is that the (1) usage should be renamed to something else, or if we can't come up with something better then merged with . (2) is probably fine to be synonymized to and (3) should be retagged.
Apr 18, 2023 13:04
@XanderHenderson Since the suggestion is to blacklist a tag, maybe it would be useful to hear from the mods. Since I see that you're around, I tried to ping you - at least to check what you thik about this.
Apr 18, 2023 09:48
As I posted in the retagging question, I want to improve the state of the differential tag and the suggestion seems to be positively received. Is this a good place to discuss what exactly should be done and how to go about it?

A: Tag management 2015

Cameron Williams Suggestion: Burninate and blacklist differential. I'd like us as a community to evaluate the tag differential. The tag wiki suggests that differential should be used in somewhat of a differential geometric setting, however much more than half the time it seems like it is used specifically fo...

> Suggestion for Tag excerpt is: Everything involving fractional calculus (FC) differential equations: in practical application of FC differential equations; in pure mathematics; numerical methods for the resolution of FDE; dynamical systems; fractional partial differential equations; FDE of distributed order; boundary value problems for FDE; techniques for studying FDE; in a variety of subjects ranging from mathematical physics to probability theory.
Mar 25, 2023 07:02
If creation of this tag is considered, do you have a suggestion what the tag-excerpt and the tag-wiki should look like. (If you do have some suggestion, you could include it in your answer - or at least edit them after the tag is created.) BTW here is a link to a few related comment in the tagging chatroom. — Martin Sleziak 3 mins ago

@PeterPhipps As far as I can tell, the OP suggested the synonym already on December 2 - about two months before this post. It seems that in the meantime, the suggestion was downvoted to $-2$ and removed. (But it was there today - and it is still shown in SEDE.) — Martin Sleziak 56 secs ago

Q: The paradox of Knuth's random golden ratio

Hank IgoeAn article on hash functions has this suggestion for making a good hashing function: Multiplication Method (Cormen). Choose m to be a power of 2. Let A be some random-looking real number. Knuth suggests M = 0.5*(sqrt(5) - 1). I'm a big fan of Professor Knuth (who isn't, of course), so I was cur...

Q: Bronze and silver tag badge holders should have extra power

mathlanderGold tag badge holders have the power to unilaterally close a question on that tag as a duplicate. My suggestion is the bronze and silver tag badges should have extra power too. I'm thinking that a duplicate close vote by a bronze tag badge holder should count as 2 votes, and a duplicate close vo...

Ok, so based on that response, the suggestion was probably for a tag on the main site - not on meta.
Dec 11, 2022 19:54
@XanderHenderson If this was intended as a suggestion for a tag on meta, I will just point out that Meta Stack Exchange has a tag [met-tag:robots]. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/robots

Thanks for the suggestion @MartinSleziak. I added a few tags, feel free to add whatever you think fits. I don't think is a very useful tag here.

A: Would a new tag for mistakes/typos/errata for books be useful/appropriate?

jorikiI disagree with Willie's answer. I found this post because I was going to make the same suggestion. We do get questions of the form "It says 'X' in this book, but that seems wrong and I think it should be 'Y'", and sometimes that turns out to be right -- here's one that I just answered Distinguis...

Q: Valid edit suggestion to a post was rejected.

Yooo I proposed an edit, two times on Find $\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\arctan (x^{3/2})}{\sqrt x}$. this question but both the times, It got rejected. For the first time, I ignored it. But it happened a second time too, on the same post. Editing a post gives $2$ points to the editor, which a...

Maybe this should be tagged (discussion)? (One thing is that it does not really fit the tag support if you look at the tag description. Additionally, if the question isn't tagged (discussion), it cannot get into the community bulletin - which probably means that it gets less attention.) — Martin Sleziak 46 secs ago

B. To suggest the new tag on meta first - and see what response the suggestion gets. (My impression is that not many people are familiar with this topic - so I am not sure whether it could get much feedback on meta. Of course, I might be wrong.)
Apr 6, 2022 08:15
@MichaelAlbanese They would certainly fall under the intended topic of this room. (For example, there were some such suggestions in this room or in MO editors' lounge.)

Q: My first tag synonym suggestion. Did I do it right?

Michael AlbaneseI recently suggested that the kaehler-manifolds tag is a synonym of the kahler-manifolds tag.

A: My first tag synonym suggestion. Did I do it right?

user147263I think it should be the other way around. In a medium that does not support diacritics (such as tags) the proper spelling is Kaehler, not Kahler.

Jul 10, 2021 12:01
This is the question mentioned above - in case somebody has a suggestion how to improve the choice of tags: Is there a name for the curve traced by the midpoint of two moving points on a circle with different speed?
