May 3, 2020 at 9:28 comment added YCor @SalvoTringali thanks for your feedback. Please consider creating tag info as you consider this tag as important. Tag excerpt is the most visible and has the main guidelines (maybe check a few existing ones). Tag wiki can include some more info such as link, book reference.
May 3, 2020 at 6:41 comment added Salvo Tringali @MartinSleziak Thanks for informing me about this discussion on meta. No doubt that factorization theory should not have a top-level tag. But concerning the use of "-theory", I beg to disagree: Please search for "Factorization" at commalg.org/surveys. For a relatively long time, this area of research has been viewed as a marginal subfield of commutative algebra, as it used to be almost entirely focused on cancellative commutative monoids (the primary source of examples being integral domains). But the situation has sensibly changed in recent years.

May 2, 2020 at 4:47 comment added Martin Sleziak Since some users reading this might not know the terminology top-level tag, I will add these two links: Why are MO tags formatted as they are? and Frequently asked questions about tagging on MathOverflow. I have also pinged the tag-creator to make them aware of the discussion on meta.
