Sorry, but I don't know what a word cloud is :-) I do support the cause of making (new) posters of questions actually read the tag descriptions. Some tags are horribly misused. A typical scenario is a new poster, who asks something about division, starts typing div..., sees a suggestion division-algebras, and clicks that happily without checking. Thus the said poster has inadvertently jumped from high school level straight to graduate school. Would your suggestion help reduce this problem? Would it actually make people read the tag description before grabbing the first familiar word?
