Asksage has tons of tags, so that when selecting one of them, the pages tagged with a synonym are not shown. This wiki page aims at finding a good set of representative, in order to merge them on the server.

A first good clean-up task would be to remove all unused tags, those that only appeared in a deleted question.

Concerning the tag redirections and replacements, here is one example of choice to be made:

• EllipticCurve (124 questions)

• Elliptic-curves (20 questions) ⇒ EllipticCurve

Another one:

• abelian_group × 9

• coxetergroup × 8 ⇒ CoxeterGroup

• finite_group × 6
• fpGroup × 1

• freeGroup × 5 ⇒ FreeGroup

• galois_group × 6
• group_presentation × 3
• group_theory × 33
• groups × 11 ⇒ Group
• Group × 49

• MatrixGroup × 4

• modular_group × 3
• normal_subgroup × 2
• permutation_group × 23
• subgroup × 7
• symmetric_group × 14

• weyl-group × 6 ⇒ WeylGroup

Another one

• algebra × 136
• linear-algebra × 45 ⇒ linear_algebra
• linearalgebra × 39 ⇒ linear_algebra
• linear_algebra × 7

• AlgebraicGeometry×38

• algebraic×15
• algebraic_number×14

• FreeAlgebra×14

• liealgebra × 14 ⇒ Lie_algebra
• Lie_algebra × 5

• CommutativeAlg...×8

• algebraic_exte...×7
• graded_algebra × 4
• gradedalgebra × 3 ⇒ graded_algebra
• semi-algebraic×4

• ExteriorAlgebra×3

• FreeAlgebraQuo...×2

• infinitdimalgebra×2
• clifford-algebra×2
• Virasoroalgebra×2
• g-algebra×2
• quaternion-alg...×2
• universal-algebra×1

And here is another example:

• number_fields × 39 ⇒ NumberField

• NumberField × 21

• number × 17
• numbers × 8 ⇒ number
• number-theory × 7 ⇒ number_theory
• number_theory × 17
• algebraic_number × 14
• numberfieldtower × 2

And here is another one:

• mac × 53
• MAC-OS10.7 × 13
• mac-OS10.11 × 9
• Mac-OS10.14 × 8
• mac-OS10.15 × 7
• Mac-OS10.13 × 7
• mac-os10.8 × 6
• Mac-OS10.9 × 5
• MacOS10.6 × 5
• Mac-OS10.10 × 5
• mac-OS10.12 × 1
• mac-os10.5 × 1

⇒ mac-OS*.* or better macOS*.*

Proposal for general principles

• use singular rather than plural

• use underscore rather than dash

• use CamelCase for existing classes and functions
