It seems that the name Euler's constant, used to denote the Euler–Mascheroni constant $\gamma$, is often interpreted as Euler's number $e$. To avoid ambiguity, I propose that the tag eulers-constant be renamed to euler-mascheroni-constant.

12$\begingroup$ Seems like half of the questions talk about $e$ and half talk about $\gamma$. I think we can just merge it into one of the other tags, e.g. constants. $\endgroup$– Asaf Karagila ModCommented Nov 8, 2013 at 21:19

1$\begingroup$ BTW the tag (e) is synonym of (exponential-function). $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 9, 2013 at 9:45

3$\begingroup$ @Martin: I think we should place a ban on one-letter tag names in general. $\endgroup$– Asaf Karagila ModCommented Nov 9, 2013 at 10:20

$\begingroup$ Perhaps (eulers-number) could be a reasonably synonym of (e). (Or replacement, should one-letter tag be removed.) $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 9, 2013 at 20:11

$\begingroup$ @AsafKaragila Hm, is pi a one-letter tag name? $\endgroup$– Hagen von EitzenCommented Nov 10, 2013 at 11:16

1$\begingroup$ @Hagen: No, it has two letters. π would have been one letter. $\endgroup$– Asaf Karagila ModCommented Nov 10, 2013 at 11:23

2$\begingroup$ pi may not be a one-letter tag name but it certainly is one letter tag name. $\endgroup$– Omar Antolín-CamarenaCommented Nov 12, 2013 at 19:52
