new-tag Two new tagsdimension and basis were created. I will replace basis with hamel-basis - I believe this was discussed a few times. I am not sure whether (dimension) is a good name of tag - since it is used in various contexts.
Posts where the tag basis was added/removed (including the editors): https://data.stackexchange.com/math/query/1105163/questions-which-had-the-given-tag-including-the-editor-who-added-it?tagname=basis https://data.stackexchange.com/math/query/1038474/questions-which-no-longer-have-the-given-tag-including-the-editor?tagName=basis
Situation: A question was asked.
I tried to find a solution, but got stuck. So I asked for help from MSE and am currently waiting for answers.
If I get a suitable answer, then I plan on posting this link on to this question.
My question is: Should I post it as an answer (considering that this was...
A discussion in chatroom about tag hausdorff-dimension draw attention to tag dimension-theory again.
Here's some data about how tag dimension-theory is used questions about topology and algebra.
My question:
Should we divide dimension-theory into 2, one for topology, and one for algebra?

> Finally, there are a lot of very elementary questions which show up in the dimension-theory tag which really don't belong. These tend to be of the type "What is the dimension of this subspace of a vector space?" These questions should probably be tagged linear-algebra (and nothing else, probably). I think that they end up getting tagged with dimension-theory because the askers start typing "dimen..." and see a tag which they think is appropriate, without actually reading the tag description.
My own area of research is fractal geometry. In fractal geometry, there are various notions of dimension (Hausdorff, box, Minkowski, Assouad, packing, complex etc.). Very roughly speaking, the dimension of a set in a metric space describes how the "volume" of a set scales when the set is scaled...
Anyway, even if a separate tag for dimension of vector spaces is created (as suggested, for example, by Daniel Fischer - long time ago), I don't think that dimension would be a good name.
The word "dimension" in mathematics has a lot of meanings in different fields, and these various notions of dimension don't necessarily have a lot in common. A dimension tag seems like a very bad idea---totally useless.
