# Should we have an egyptian fractions tag

Just a thought that there are enduring questions of this kind, and tagging them might help identifying themes and duplicates. As always this is tentative.

So here are some examples from some 20 questions which mention the term. Possibly this is not enough, as there are some duplicates there, but there are also questions which don't. There is a fractions tag, which is possibly enough, but it isn't consistently used for these examples.

This basic question

Pretty much a duplicate

Something different

Another example

Not quite what I was thinking of

This is the one which triggered my thought - it doesn't mention Egyptian Fractions at all

• I think it would be useful. – Andrés E. Caicedo Jul 30 '13 at 5:32
• I agree with @AndresCaicedo It would be even more useful if you can write a tag wiki for it. :-) – Willie Wong Jul 30 '13 at 6:16
• @WillieWong, created a tag and a vanilla tag wiki. I'm not sure people know what that is, i didn't when you talked about it for "complex-multiplication" – Will Jagy Aug 2 '13 at 20:30

• I'm not at $20k$ yet - thanks for adding – Mark Bennet Aug 2 '13 at 20:51
• You can use [tag:tag-name] to generate an automatic link to the tag. – Asaf Karagila Aug 3 '13 at 10:30
