When searching for "trigonometry" or something similar in the tag list (or when editing a question), the trigonometric-functions appears, and is said to contain 72 questions:
But there's a twist: trigonometric-functions is a synonym of trigonometry, which has 10k+ questions, and the following link redirects to trigonometry:
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/trigonometric-functions
What is happening here? Why is the tag appearing in the tag list and when editing questions, and with a different count of questions to boot? Is it the expected behavior?
(I'm asking because I was editing a question involving a trigonometric function, and kept editing the tag trigonometry back to trigonometric-functions, wondering what was happening... In any case it's annoying behavior, and if it's not a bug I'll consider making this into a feature request.)
