Tag Info

Splitting vague tags is time-consuming, causes lots of random bumping, and is only worth it if all or nearly all of the relevant posts are sorted out and the new distinction is valuable. So, I'd be cautious. If you are still keen, I suggest tackling just the clearest case and reporting back. That seems to be the preview case: of 78 tagged questions, 20 ...

It seems pretty much irredeemably broken. Looking over the first few questions tagged that way it seems to cover stretchy symbols \left\right stuff could be tagged delimiters if not already large file sizes could be tagged memory or database or ... box sizing stuff. could be tagged boxes if not already I suppose if someone is bored on a rainy afternoon ...

Some special symbols need special answers but most likely these questions get answered by some general advice on how to look up a symbol, or get closed as duplicates of "How to look up a symbol or identify a math symbol ...
