Indeed, András Bátkai is the first user with bronze badge for semigroups-of-operators.
The tag was created on February 2. Apart from cases when mods rename a tag (so the new tag gets many questions immediately), I think that the time between tag creation and the first tag badge is usually much longer.

Any ideas what to do about products At the moment it is a mix of all kinds of products. We have many sepecific product tags too.
specific-tag products is one of the tag where it is unclear what is the tag intended to be used for. Just for finite/infinite products on numbers? Products in category theory? Product of topological spaces? Product measures (and products of measurable spaces)?
Among 47 questions tagged products, there are 6 questions tagged products+ct.category-theory, 4 questions tagged products+gn.general-topology, 3 questions tagged products+measure-theory.

specific-question I have added mg.metric-geometry to this question: Light reflecting off Christmas-tree balls. Among the top-level tags, this one seems the most suitable to me. (Of course, feel free to remove it if you consider it unsuitable.)

Q: Light reflecting off Christmas-tree balls

Joseph O'Rourke'Twas the night before Christmas and under the tree Was a heap of new balls, stacked tight as can be. The balls so gleaming, they reflect all light rays, Which bounce in the stack every which way. When, what to my wondering mind does occur: A question of interest; I hope you concur! From each poi...

I guess the tag etcs should be replaced with the name 'elementary-theory-category-of-sets] (34 characters). There are 6 occurrences, it can be done manually. It's in coherence with avoiding abbreviations in tags. Most people unrelated to this topic have no idea of the meaning of ETCS.

On the other hand, some MO users might be used to the name ETCS. So maybe a synonym between etcs and elementary-theory-category-of-sets might be reasonable. (Whichever of them is chosen as the master tag.)
I have asked about this in the Homotopy Theory chatroom, maybe somebody who is interested in that are leaves some response.

I meant to write "in that area" rather than "in that are".

@MartinSleziak The problem is that the moderators are not much involved in managing tags, so proposing a synonym to a 6-question tag is not a priority.

Well, it seems that François G. Dorais created quite a lot of tag synonyms. (Although only one this year.)

@MartinSleziak the problem is that there is a "standard procedure" to create a synonym, and this procedure has to be made by somebody with some points given by posts with the given tag. Remains the big meta post "improve tags..." but again I'd say this is not a priority
