| Apr 30, 2011 at 0:20 | comment | added | Isaac | @Qiaochu: Because it takes too long to figure out what's new or changed when this monster-question gets bumped to the top. If one person has many tag changes to suggest, they can post them all in one meta question if they want, but I think we'd be more likely to get useful information from answers on such questions and votes on the question and answers if each suggestion were its own question. | |
| Apr 29, 2011 at 18:39 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | @Isaac: why? The problem with doing that is that it puts an upper bound on how many requests can be made in a certain timeframe without cluttering up meta. This way people are free to request as many changes as they like. | |
| Apr 29, 2011 at 18:36 | comment | added | Isaac | This seems to have gotten absolutely unreadable. I think we'd be much better off with each request in its own question. | |

| Jan 6, 2011 at 21:36 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Qiaochu: You did comment on it, you should probably be familiar with this request: meta.math.stackexchange.com/q/1347 but I will post links to specific questions in an answer here. | |
| Jan 6, 2011 at 21:08 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | @Asaf: yes. I'm not familiar with this cardinals request, so could you also post that here? | |
| Jan 6, 2011 at 20:59 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | If I want to suggest a retag on several questions without having them bumped up, is this the place? It regards to my old request about cardinals/large-cardinals tags. I think that my questions on the former should be transfered to the latter, and most questions on the latter (read: except for my questions) should be transfered to the former. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 15:10 | comment | added | Sean Tilson | why are people downvoting? also, this is much better idea than the previous one. | |

| Dec 17, 2010 at 8:42 | comment | added | T.. | Qiaochu, does merging [A] to [B] prevent future use of [A], or is it just a search-and-replace of A's to B's in the current tag environment? | |

| Dec 17, 2010 at 7:56 | comment | added | T.. | ah. That could be labor intensive in some cases. Does SE2.0 retain the original tag set for a posting, or any changes are in-place overwrites? | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 7:51 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | @T..: in order for the changes to actually be reversible I think I should link to all of the affected questions. (The reversibility isn't perfect, though; to restore tags you have to bump all of the affected questions, which is annoying.) | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 7:49 | comment | added | T.. | Thanks for the additional thread. May I suggest the format "[original tag], change, number of postings affected, sample link". | |

| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:23 | comment | added | T.. | re: garbage collection, individual decisions might be trivial but taken cumulatively there may be non-obvious decisions to be made, patterns noticed or design criteria articulated. It would suffice to have a single "garbage tags" posting (list each removed tag plus number of times it was used) that keeps growing from the garbage collection in progress, but visibility of the changes has its own value. Simply knowing the fraction and nature of junk tags is useful for considering the future evolution of the tag system. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:18 | comment | added | T.. | Also, I have the feeling that decisions on tags will often arise after a certain amount of back and forth about competing proposals (see e.g. the current discussion on [cardinals] or the earlier one that led to [elementary-set-theory]) and it is easy to forget the logic of the decision later on. The tag system is part of the knowledge-organization function performed by the site, so it could be very interesting over time to see how the choices are made and what principles can be distilled from the process. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:14 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | @T..: I'm not so sure. Most of what I'll be doing is essentially garbage-collection and I don't think that's worth documenting. Anything that's not obviously garbage-collection I'll propose in this thread. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:11 | comment | added | T.. | I think it's good practice to document any changes if it's not completely annoying to do so. Maybe a separate "tag changes history" thread can be the archive and this one for the suggestions. This is just my preference, I have no idea what others might think, but because the tag system already contains some evolved structure it seems like any modification should be documented. This might also be useful for other purposes later. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:08 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | @T..: should I also report on the tags I've merged? | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 6:01 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan Mod | I deleted two tag synonyms experimentally, but unfortunately I do not remember what they are. Anyone who misses them enough to remember them should post it in this thread and let it be voted on. | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 5:59 | comment | added | T.. | Changes are automatically recorded at math.stackexchange.com/tags/synonyms?filter=all&tab=master , but for changes initiated by moderators please also post them as answers in this thread so that they can be voted and commented upon. In theory, reversal or a different synonym might be a result of the discussion in some cases. (In practice, the moderator judgements have been reasonable as one can see at that link.) | |
