| Jan 5, 2018 at 17:02 | comment | added | Denis Nardin | @FedericoPoloni (abstract-nonsense) is a little different, in that it has become essentially acceptable terminology in category theory: you find it in papers, maybe even titles of papers. "Simplicial stuff" is definitely used in seminars, but I don't think people write it down, usually. | |
| Jan 5, 2018 at 14:23 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Tangential remark: if we decide to do something about this tag name, another similar case is abstract-nonsense. | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 11:51 | comment | added | Manfred Weis | To clarify: I am not an expert in the field at which the question on MO is aimed and my naming "suggestions" were only meant to demonstrate, that there is no need to use "stuff" in a tag; sorry if my suggestions were perceived as coming from knowledge in the field. | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 11:43 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | +1 Also from me - in the spirit of the above comment. (So the intended meaning of the upvote is "it is useful that this was brought up on meta" and not "I agree with the suggested alternative names for the tag".) | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 11:37 | comment | added | Denis Nardin | I don't understand the downvote on the question. It is true that the OP misunderstood completely the meaning of the "simplicial-stuff" tag, but this is possibly even more an indication that there is a problem, not the converse. | |

| Jan 4, 2018 at 11:11 | comment | added | Denis Nardin | Good names could be "simplicial-objects" or "simplicial-homotopy-theory" (depending on where to put the focus). I kind of like "simplicial-stuff", and I have to say I don't really understand the objections | |

| Jan 4, 2018 at 10:56 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Still, Mathematics has an advantage that there is tag-excerpt that clarifies the usage. (It was created by Grigory M.) On Mathoverflow, the tag-info is empty at the moment. (The tag-info on Mathematics site could at least give a basic idea what this tag is intended for.) | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 10:49 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Probably people who know about, well, simplicial stuff are able to give a more qualified response. But I will add at least a link to a discussion about the tag (simplicial-stuff) on Mathematice Meta. (Some MO veterans have been involved in that discussion.) | |
