I've brought up this tagging question in main chatroom: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3168261#3168261

No relevant opinions there so far, apart from comment whether there is really a difference between symmetric-functions and the proposed tag symmetric-polynomials.

If there is some more discussions about these tags in main chatroom, I (or someone) will post an update here,

Here's the text I've posted at main chatroom.

Do you think introducing symmetric-polynomials tag would be a good idea?

Some examples of questions at MSE related to symmetric polynomials:

Number of terms in a monomial symmetric polynomial

Linear Algebra of Symmetric Sums

Algorithm(s) for computing an elementary symmetric polynomial

Roots of elementary monomials

Elementary symmetrical polynomial equations, whose solutions are known to be natural numbers

Symmetric polynomials have unique expressions as polynomials in symmetric elementary functions

symmetric polynomials and the Newton identities

Which Newton's Identities are being referred to here?

Characters of Symmetric and Antisymmetric Powers

Elementary symmetric polynomials and matrices of 1-forms

An identity on symmetric polynomial

Do these special power functions generate all homogeneous symmetric polynomials?

Or would it be better to use tags that already exist and tag them by both symmetric-functions and polynomials?

Update: After discussion with Srivatsan in main chatroom (and also judging by the above examples, I've created symmetric-polynomials, it seems that it might be useful. I've added a few questions to this tag, so that the tag is not deleted automatically.

@KannappanSampath Thanks a lot for your work on the questions with standalone homework tag!

I find questions on base-$b$ expansions for $b \ne 10$. The decimal-expansion tag doesn't apply to these questions. Can someone think of a more general name so that [decimal-expansion] can be made a synonym of this?

E.g., this question: math.stackexchange.com/q/44866.

@KannappanSampath Block 4 of the standalone homework questions retagged.

By searching Google Books it seems that g-adic and b-adic are used by some authors.

Maybe it's better to search for g-adic expansion and b-adic expansion.

Or g-adic representation and b-adic representation.

The question Uniqueness of the infinite expansion in base b is similar, it is tagged number-systems.
