A recent question: The number of numbers no greater than n that are divisible by all their suffixes. I have changed to - I am pretty sure this is a reasonable thing to do. I have also added . (Here I am less sure.) But why the OP tagged this with ?

Q: The number of numbers no greater than n that are divisible by all their suffixes

Martin LeshkoMy question: what a formula for finding the number of numbers no greater than n that are divisible by all their suffixes. e.g: 5, 25, 125, 0125, 70125 are divisors of 70125. refinement: $\overline{0...0a_1a_2...} = \overline{a_1a_2...}$

The tag is one of the tags which are often used incorrectly: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/10243/2018/9/1

A: Help improve tagging!

Martin SleziakI suggest to rename the tag divisors in a way which distinguishes it more clearly from divisors-multiples. The tag-info for divisors (revision history) clearly says: For questions related to divisors in the sense of algebraic geometry (Cartier divisors, Weil divisors and so on). For question...

Q: What subject specific tags could replace the tag 'divisors'?

Ricardo AndradeA few names are used in different subjects in mathematics with completely distinct meanings. A couple of common examples are "spectrum" and "regular". Sometimes, this creates problems with tags on MathOverflow, as is explained in some of the answers to the question Help cleanup tags!. Specificall...

@MartinSleziak I waited a bit and then I've added the (np) tag. As I've mentioned, the question is still missing the top-level tag.

Q: Why is "P vs. NP" necessarily relevant?

Andreas ThomI want to start out by giving two examples: 1) Graham's problem is to decide whether a given edge-coloring (with two colors) of the complete graph on vertices $\lbrace-1,+1\rbrace^n$ contains a planar $K_4$ colored with just one color. Graham's result is that such a $K_4$ exists provided $n$ is ...

@DavideCervone in a "previous life" I looked at some aspects of web accessibility including screen readers, so point taken. My preference would be for R^4 without MathJax, by the way. — Yemon Choi Aug 19 '13 at 16:34
@YemonChoi Since you have mentioned that you have experience with accessibolity and screenreaders, you might be able to comment on that aspect of the recent question: Is it OK to abuse Mathjax for emphasis?
This is explicitly mentioned in the post as one of the issues:
> It breaks screen readers for visually impaired people
Although I suppose that you visit meta quite regularly, so my message pointing you to that question is probably redundant. (Especially considering that the question already is in the community bulleting.)

Q: How to show the set $\operatorname{Hom}_K(L,\bar{K})$ of all $K$-embeddings of $L$ is partitioned into $m$ equivalence classes of $d$ elements each?

Born to be proudLet $L|K$ be a finite separable extension. Denote the algebraic closure of $K$ by $\bar K$. $\forall x\in L$, denote $d=[L:K(x)]$ and $m=[K(x):K]$. How to show the set $\operatorname{Hom}_K(L,\bar{K})$ of all $K$-embeddings of $L$ is partitioned by the equivalence relation $$\sigma\sim \tau \L...

@MartinSleziak I hadn't seen this; I think my position is close to FP's, in terms of how I write myself, but I might not have been so interventionist. In any case, it seems that NS and FP have reached some amicable middle ground.
 
Yes, it seems from the comments that it was a bit heated, but the more recent comment from both of them are quite friendly.
I think that even if this question on meta is inspired by a specific post, it is probably meant as a discussion about the issue in general.
The issue with screenreaders was mentioned just tangentially - I have to admit that I have no experience with actually using one. (When I taught a blind student once, I was told to changes on my website, but otherwise I did not do much - there are some people employed at our faculty which assist such student and they were able to help them with all materials to get them to the form they needed.)
I remember this question on Mathematics Meta: To what extent is Math.SE accessible to a blind user? From the answer it seems that mainly navigation is problematic for visually impaired users.
