A: Help cleanup tags!

Tommi BranderThere are tags laplacian and laplace-equation. Neither has a wiki or guidelines for usage. The tag laplacian seems to be more popular. Should these be merged?

Are these really the same? — François G. Dorais ♦ yesterday
Not exactly the same, but quite closely related. I no longer remember if they are used in distinct ways. I think adding tag wikis would be nice, if one chooses to not merge them. — Tommi Brander 23 hours ago
At the moment, both tags mentioned in the above post have empty tag-info: mathoverflow.net/tags/laplacian/info mathoverflow.net/tags/laplace-equation/info

specific-question Which top-level tag to choose for the HNQ question Six yolks in a bowl: Why not optimal circle packing? Perhaps mg.metric-geometry - I see that the tag-excerpt mentions discrete geometry.
> Euclidean, hyperbolic, discrete, convex, coarse geometry, comparisons in Riemannian geometry, symmetric spaces.

Q: Six yolks in a bowl: Why not optimal circle packing?

Joseph O'RourkeMaking soufflé tonight, I wondered if the six yolks took on the optimal circle packing configuration. They do not. It is only with seven congruent circles that the optimal packing places one in the center. Q. Why don't the yolks in a bowl follow the optimal packing of congruent circles in...

Possibly also mp.mathematical-physics could be a candidate for the top-level tag for this question? The tag-excerpt:
> Mathematical methods in classical mechanics, classical and quantum field theory, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, condensed matter, nuclear and atomic physics.
