Old tag superalgebra with no usage guidance,tag wiki and a few questions.

It seems that the tag superalgebra was created at some point in 2011. It has rather high number of deleted questions (29 deleted, 27 existing). data.stackexchange.com/math/query/542457/… data.stackexchange.com/math/query/927958/… data.stackexchange.com/math/query/883845/…

There is also lie-superalgebras, currently with 11 questions. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32326005#32326005

WP: Superalgebra and Lie superalgebra

Lie-superalgebra is quite useful in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism in mathematical physics

For comparison, MO has both (super-algebra) with 26 questions and (lie-superalgebras) with 47 questions.

@XanderHenderson It seems that the tag was renamed to semisimple-lie-algebras. Link to tag-excerpt and tag-wiki.

Thanks goes to the moderators!

@MartinSleziak Thanks - GEdgar was my dissertation advisor, by the way.

@MartinSleziak As far as splitting the dimension theory tag goes, I'm not sure that "split" is the right term. As I read the tag info, algebraic notions are explicitly off topic. If they're there anyway though, then I'd favor more specific tags.

@MartinSleziak Yeah, I saw that the flag had cleared. Thanks, whichever mod handled the flag!

@MarkMcClure @MartinSleziak I get the impression that there is support for creating a new tag for algebraic dimension theory. There also seems to be some confusion about what I proposed on Meta (and I freely admit that it might be me who is confused).

For the record, I think that we should create a new tag dimension-theory-algebra,

and that the existing tag should be renamed to dimension-theory-analysis (but that on-topic questions can and should include purely topological notions of dimension).

But that, perhaps, betrays my biases---I see these topological notions as being, ultimately, analytic in nature.

@MarkMcClure Some time ago there was a discussion on meta which seem to suggest (although not with too strong support) that this includes dimension in algebra - but nobody updated the tag-info to reflect that. However, the usage in practice clearly includes the meaning in algebra.

@XanderHenderson I would wait a bit more (the score is +5 at the moment).

Personally, to me a reasonable time to wait with a discussion on meta before an action is taken seems to be 14 days. (That's the period after which it is no longer displayed in the community bulletin - lower visibility decreases likelihood of getting more feedback.)

Thanks for voting and commenting, Mark McClure.

Of course, while the discussion about the tag is going on, there is a lot of work to do with removing the posts about linear algebra tagged (dimension-theory). And when the decision to make a separate tag for algebraic aspects of dimension theory, then there is even more retagging to do - with the algebraic posts currently in this tag.

@MartinSleziak I was going to give it another week, but am happy to wait for two. ;)

A new tag slowly-varying-functions is created by a 100K user.

@XanderHenderson Week is certainly fine - at least if there is already a clear consensus. As I've mentioned, 14 days is often the time after which additional feedback becomes rather unlikely - since posts are no longer shown in the community bulletin after that.
