@MichaelRozenberg If you happen to have a bit of time, could you have a look at today's comments concerning methods for inequalities in tagging chat room: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/3740/2017/8/8 ?

Re: For which it's enough to click the tag SOS and you'll see a full picture. I think it's impossible to see this picture without tag SOS. Certainly, there are many other methods how to create a collection of examples for some methods than using tags. — Martin Sleziak 2 hours ago

@Martin Sleziak What do you mean? Give me example. — Michael Rozenberg 2 hours ago

For example, various lists of problems. With additional advantage that they can be better organized and comments can be included. They can be created outside of math.SE, sometimes they are tolerated also here. See, for example, this question and other posts linked there. — Martin Sleziak 2 hours ago

@Martin Sleziak I think it's very bad idea for two reasons. 1. Adding question in live it's the best thing! It much better than a book. This thing we have because there is tagging. 2. We can else to make these comments and links. I think it's a big and unnecessary work. — Michael Rozenberg 2 hours ago

@MichaelRozenberg If you wish to discuss question collections in more detail, we can move this to chat - because we digressed from the original topic which is tagging. (Although I am not sure I have much to add to what is written in the posts I linked above.) — Martin Sleziak 5 secs ago

Re: Adding question in live it's the best thing! List of questions does not have to be static. (If you looked at a few lists which are on main or meta, you saw that they were edited a few times.)

Re: Give me example.

You probably found some examples if you had a look at the meta posts I linked. But some lists of questions here on main or meta are List of Generalizations of Common Questions or the three posts linked in the answer here: Would "organizer posts" be useful/welcome here?.

Many users have lists of questions in their profile - although it is slightly different (only they can edit).

Catalog of standard exercises is example of a list which was created off-site.

Re: We can else to make these comments and links <- this is a bit difficult to parse, so I assume that it's not what you wanted to write.

Anyway, my whole point is that tags are not the only method to create a collection of examples of something. You can certainly imagine other possibilities. (And it is unclear whether tags are indeed suitable for this purpose.)
