Acknowledgments
First, thanks to GertVdE for going through the tags and proposing changes. AronAhmadia and I have looked at GertVdE's list, and now I'm going through and cleaning up and merging some of the tags. The clean up will be done in stages; this first stage has been proposed on 17 March, and will stay up for a week for comments.
Deletions
- symmetry because its suggested usages make it seem like a "meta tag"; such tags are discouraged (see comment thread associated with Dan's answer)
Synonyms
Mostly for disambiguation.
- dg -> discontinuous-galerkin
- mkl -> intel-mkl
- finite-element -> finite-element-method
- data-handling -> data-management
- krylov -> krylov-method
Merges (Renames if the target tag does not exist)
Generally speaking, tags with fewer than 5 mentions are being merged into larger, relevant categories (there may be a few exceptions). Singleton tags are discouraged, but kept if they don't fit nicely into larger categories.
