Hi. Where should I go/what should I do if I think a tag should be renamed?

@MichaelAlbanese It depends, there are several possibilities.
You can mention in in Tagging chat room, but at the moment not many users are active there. (Last time somebody else then me was there was wythagoras and suomynonA about a week ago. quid sometimes visits that room.)
But even if you do not get any reply there, it is at least useful to check both in tagging chat room and on meta whether the specific tag has been discussed.
The place where you most likely can get some feedback is meta. You can post an answer in the Tag management thread. Or you can post a separate question, if you think for some reason that a wider discussion is needed.
@MichaelAlbanese BTW there was a post on meta about this recently: Can you change the name of a tag?

Re: If I recall correctly, there is even a recommendation somewhere "Make your question your title." Probably this is mentioned in some other places too, but one of the most visible is probably the part about titles in both copies of "How to ask a good question?" Here is the older one and the more recent. — Martin Sleziak 5 hours ago
@MartinSleziak yes, that's what I likely had in min. MO earlier had a similar recommendation, which may in turn have been similar to one on SO. On MO at some point it became "Make your title your question (But don't forget to restate it in the body!)" Maybe we could do this here too. — quid 32 mins ago
One of the links I've added (the one which is tagged faq) contains: "Your question should be clear without the title ... make sure that the question body does not rely on specific information in the title." So it is there. (I am not sure, perhaps it might be more prominently visible. However, to me the faq entry seems to be quite well written.) — Martin Sleziak 24 mins ago
@MartinSleziak right, as many it is to be assumed I did not read until the end. :-) I do not disagree that it is well-written. But I still think it could make sense to have these two pieces of information closer together. But maybe this is a discussion for elsewhere. — quid 1 min ago
@quid I too prefer to have this discussion elsewhere and later.
In case you wish to clean up the comments, they are copied here.
But four comments are not that much noise - I'd say that we can probably leave them there as they are.
And since I have already pinged you, maybe I can also remind you our old discussion about max-min tag, it seems that the main bulk of that discussion is here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/3740/2016/12/10 Any plans to raise the issue on meta?
I have to admit that I also have a few tag-related things which I should post on meta, but I have been postponing them for some time.
