| Jul 25, 2013 at 16:10 | comment | added | user9072 | This is not completly on-topic here, I originally wanted to ask a separate question, but decided on quickly asking you here: it seems to me at the moment these tags are nowwhere documented. By contrast on the old MO they were very prominent on the Ask Question page. The "nowhere" is more for the documentation discussion, but I'd like to know something else: do you know if we could (at least in principle) get the current text 'in the tag box' while it is empty changed to mention them? | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 19:36 | comment | added | Kaveh | I am still in favor of keeping the tag names as they are (the discussion over tea). A small distinguishable set of classification tags is essential (at least for me). Btw, don't forget that you can now define tag synonyms. :) | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 19:03 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | OK. Took care of the top ones. My cut & paste skills are tired now... | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:46 | comment | added | Manishearth | Apparently there should not be any X-tag-wiki-edits-per-day restriction for mods (I checked with Shog9). If you encounter it, please report it in the Teacher's Lounge or as a bug on meta. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:38 | comment | added | Manishearth | re:few-per-day:Huh? You're a moderator, this should not be rate limited. re:improvement: I agree. The question is, do we just keep it like that or add more improvements? Also, any objections to me doing the same if you are rate limited? | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:36 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | I started copying arXiv descriptions for common tags since that's already an improvement over nothing at all. Apparently, I can only do a few per day, so that will take a while... | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 17:56 | comment | added | Manishearth | Oh, so that's why the tag names have prefixes. I like option #2 -- tag excerpts get shown while looking for tags to enter, a short description(instead of a list) is helpful. (However, I can see the advantage of using lists of subtopics) | |
