I have just asked a question and wanted to add tag "conditional-probability"(x 841), but the tag doesn't appear without any notification. Is there any restrictions on using some tags?

conditional-probability is a synonym of probability, so if you add that tag to a question, it is automatically converted to probability. The tags were not merged when the synonym was created, therefore there are still questions having the tag conditional-probability.

$\begingroup$ Thank you! Can I read somewhere which tags are synonyms? $\endgroup$– SlowpokeJun 3, 2016 at 12:50

5$\begingroup$ Yes, you can. There's a tag synonyms page (linked at the bottom of the tags page). But let me warn you, that page is ugly. Also, it's hard to interpret. $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2016 at 12:52
