@MartinSleziak Updated the post, as suggested :-)
@MartinSleziak Seems good to me. [f-1] is a bit meaningless without knowing what it is meant to refer to, but [field-with-one-element], while no one knows what it is, at least advertises what it's meant to be :-)

@DavidRoberts Should I make a post on meta about field-with-one-element and f-1? Or is it enough that I mentioned it here - and you'll discuss with other mods what to do with those two tags?

@MartinSleziak Just out of curiosity, mathoverflow.net/questions/28788/… seems to have somewhere around a dozen edits in the last hour. Which one was the one that bumped the thread?

I have a SEDE query which shows edits on the question and the answers in one place. However, the database is update only once a week - so the two recent edits on the answers will be shown in the results of that query only after the next update.
So for this specific question you get: data.stackexchange.com/mathoverflow/query/1253327/…
There were two new answers on November 8 (one of them with an additional edit a day later): mathoverflow.net/posts/434119/revisions mathoverflow.net/posts/434126/revisions
And an edit to the question on November 8: mathoverflow.net/posts/28788/revisions
@AsafKaragila Admittedly, I should have made the edits sooner after it was bumped. (At the same time, I do not want to make edits very soon after a new answer - so that the new answer isn't hidden from other users who click on "lastactivity".)

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if the "recently bumped" referred to those November edits or something more recent. Thanks.

Still, on a site with such a vocal anti-bumping community, I guess it makes sense to check what else can be updated. (And edit other answer - rather then leaving them to be edited at some random time.)
Of course, the best thing to get overview of the recent activity is to use the SEDE query I linked above. (But SEDE is only update once a week.)
I wonder whether I am closer to my first suspension on MO. (Fully aware that on MO suspensions are more random than on the other sites. At least I do not know about a different site where a mod suspended a user by mistake - while trying to do something else.)

@MartinSleziak Nothing like that, I was just curious.
We all appreciate your work very much.

TBH, I don't think that something like that is very important.

@MartinSleziak Well. I do have some important things to do, and it would be a waste if I had come to the office and not done any of them. Have a nice day.

Knowing that on MO there is opposition to bumping, I try to check what else can be edited (so that the same question isn't bumped again by something minor).
But usually the things I notice are rather minor.
As you can easily check by taking some random question that was bumped and looking at the edit summaries.
A few more examples of posts which were bumped in November - and where one might check whether something can be edited in the question and other answers: Motivating the Laplace transform definition, Do generalizations of adjoint functors, such as adjunctions in 2-categories, and multivariable adjunctions, have formulations in terms of something like universal morphisms?, ...
... What is the oldest open problem in mathematics?, Packing twelve spherical caps to maximize tangencies, Computer algebra errors, What are examples of theorems which were once "valid", then became "invalid" as standard definitions shifted?, Good "casual" advanced math books.

@Martin a post on meta would seem appropriate, but more to double check if anyone is vocally opposed. If not, might as well do it.

Field with one element
In mathematics, the field with one element is a suggestive name for an object that should behave similarly to a finite field with a single element, if such a field could exist. This object is denoted F1, or, in a French–English pun, Fun. The name "field with one element" and the notation F1 are only suggestive, as there is no field with one element in classical abstract algebra. Instead, F1 refers to the idea that there should be a way to replace sets and operations, the traditional building blocks for abstract algebra, with other, more flexible objects. Many theories of F1 have been proposed,...
@DavidRoberts I have posted in the thread for the tag synonyms: Help cleanup tags!
Maybe I should include the stats for the new tag, too. (Although the results will be empty until the next update of thee database.)

A: Help cleanup tags!

Martin SleziakA tag called field-with-one-element with one element was created recently. At the same time, there already exists a tag called f-1. (Currently with 66 questions.) Since both of them refer to field with one element, I suppose that it would be reasonable to create a synonym between them (in one dir...

Either field-with-one-element or one-element-field is much clearer than f-1 (which always makes me think of race cars). — François G. Dorais 29 mins ago

tag-suggestion Would it be useful to have a tag related to sylow-theory, similarly as on Mathematics Stack Exchange? Recently I've seen the question "Sylow theorems for infinite groups" - but there are certainly many other questions on related topics.
