@MartinSleziak I think the iterated monodromy group tag is fair enough but I wan't sure the protocol for adding tag wiki info etc. I can't claim to understand the Wikipedia entry but happy to copy/paste from it if that's appropriate. The proof-complexity tag; I was surprised to find this didn't exist but couldn't find a alternative.

@ProducerofBS Well, there is definitely not a general consensus about this, but some users prefer that new tags should be discussed on meta before creation. Relevant discussion on meta: Should every new tag be discussed on meta before creation?
About the tag-info - you can leave it empty if you think that the name is descriptive enough and the intended usage is clear already from the name.
However, it might be useful to know that tags used on only one question are automatically deleted after certain time unless they have tag-wiki.
So one additional reason to create the tag-info would be to prevent this automatic deletion. (That is, if you believe that the new tag has potential to be actually useful.)
If you copy some stuff from Wikipedia, you should definitely also include the link to the Wikipedia article as an attribution. See also here: tag-wikis based on Wikipedia, particularly the last comment by Willie Wong.

Since the question has been bumped, I'll wait a bit whether somebody wants to add something. (Most likely there will be not much additional activity on that question, so eventually I am going to accept your answer.)
> I do not think we should introduce something that basically only works around this intentionally imposed restriction. If we think that per-site moderators should be able to delete tags then the way to go would be to request this.

Since @quid is quite experienced with tags, I would trust their judgement. (We will see whether he responds to this discussion.)
If you still feel that the tag might be useful, before going through another round of creating and removing tag it might be better to raise the new tag on meta - either in tag management thread or as a separated post.
