specific-question meta Advice on closing questions as duplicates - I'd guess that the tag exact-duplicates should be added here.

In a very recent question the OP had made considerable amount of progress in proving an inequality. The OP was only left to prove the inequality $x^2y+y^2z+z^2x\le \frac{4}{27}$. Myself knowing that the inequality was quite famous (at least in the contest world). I voted to close it as duplicate...
I wonder why you have removed the tag related to duplicates when the question is clearly about closing as duplicates? — Martin Sleziak 11 mins ago
@MartinSleziak I tried to bring in the tag duplicates but it seems the system is automatically changing it to 'exact duplicates ' which is not the case — Albus Dumbledore 5 mins ago
@MartinSleziak If my question was about 'exact duplicates' I should obviously close it,in this case they are not ,My confusion is what should I do if the post indirectly adresses the question as in this case.please help me to put the right tag — Albus Dumbledore 2 mins ago
@AlbusDumbledore I would suggest to continue the discussion related to the choice of tags in the tagging chatroom, so that we do not leave too many comments here. — Martin Sleziak 14 secs ago
Re: I tried to bring in the tag duplicates but it seems the system is automatically changing it to 'exact duplicates. Yes, that's because the two tags are synonyms: math.meta.stackexchange.com/tags/exact-duplicates/synonyms
My impression is that the tag exact-duplicates would be suitable here. It would help other users to find the question in the future. (I suppose that you have checked past questions in this tag to see whether there is some similar question from the past.)
> Please use this tag when you want to draw attention to a specific question on the main site. For example, if you want to draw high-rep users to close/reopen/edit a question, if you want to discuss the necessity of locking/protecting a question, etc. Do not use if your intention is to discuss/ask about a general issue, and you merely use questions as examples.

Proposal: Create tag xor xor, also known as symmetric difference, is a logical operator for which we have no separate name in English -- for example, when we say "do you want ice cream, or do you want cake", we mean xor but we say or. Since for many people, this is the first new logical operator...
