The moment-generating-functns-tag seems to be spelled incorrectly.
However, it could be due to a limit on the number of used characters, but since I couldn't find anything on it, I just wanted to let you guys know.
A tag for geometric invariant theory has been created today, but it comes with a problem: the final "y" is missing, therefore its current name is geometric-invariant-theor.
Is there an upper limit for the length of a tag, beyond which tags get automatically truncated? If not, could a moderator a...
"combinatorial number theory"
"linear fractional transformations"
The software forbids these two tags because they are too long. Should the length limits be adjusted? Or is there some way of making special exceptions?
Currently, the divergence tag seems to be used for both the divergence of vector fields and the divergence of a sequence/series/integral. There is no tag-wiki. It currently has 307 questions.
It seems to me that the tag should not be applied to both. In particular, I don't think it's necessary t...
Currently, there exist a tag divergence, about which I'd like to know your opinion:
the tag has no usage guidance and no tag wiki. This means that users cannot know whether this tag is dedicated to "divergence" as opposed to "convergence" (of series, sequences, integrals), or rather to "diverge...
Perhaps we could then create a tag with more descriptive name, like (divergence-vector-calculus) or (divergence-vector-field). This might reduce the number of mistagged questions. (Many users do not read tag-excerpts.) — Martin Sleziak1 min ago
@MartinSleziak I recently created the tag "polynomial-rings". I though that since there are tags like UFD, euclidean-domain, etc, I would be nice to have a tag involving problems related to polynomial rings and similar topics in ring theory/commutative algebra.
@MartinSleziak Most of those seem to have proper names. Those with shortened names have a clear expansion (as far as I see). Joonas will be sad to lose pseudo-differential-opera, but I don't think that's reason enough to keep the shortened form. Unless you see a tag where it's not just a clear expansion of an abbreviated word, no meta post necessary.
@kingW3 Now we have at least some response from a moderator - see above.
@MartinSleziak yes. The difference is that I find the tag "polynomials" to be very broad, for example could be for polynomials in high-school level, whereas polynomial-rings is specialized in questions related, as I said, to ring theory/commutative algebra.
Yeah, I think it would be nice to have a tag-info in order to differentiate it from the tag "polynomials".
Is this a good usage guidance:"This tag is used for questions on polynomials rings in an arbitrary number of variables related to different topics studied in ring theory and commutative algebra. Do not use this tag for high-school level questions. "?
What about this: "This tag is used for questions on polynomials rings in an arbitrary number of variables related to different topics studied in ring theory and commutative algebra. Questions related to high-school polynomials level or similar should use the tag polynomials. "
As the character limit for tag names was raised to 35, we can now replace some awkwardly abbreviated tag names (like geometric-invariant-theor) with their fully spelled out names.
I've already done that for a few tags:
moment-generating-functns
geometric-invariant-theor
pseudo-differential-ope...

However, it could be due to a limit on the number of used characters, but since I couldn't find anything on it, I just wanted to let you guys know.
The maximal tag length has been increased to 35 characters.
Renaming the tag to moment-generating-functions is now possible.
"combinatorial number theory"
"linear fractional transformations"
