I've seen over an over here on meta request to fix tags.
One feature that can be added to the SO engine is a "Did you mean" ala Google.
I'm not saying that it is easy or trivial to do, but I think it would be pretty cool and eventually it will improve the overall search experience ( by improving the tag mechanism )
So here's how it would work:
- The user tags its question with a misspelled ( or little popular ) tag
For instance tag =
- The system check while saving the question, if there is a big number of "edits" on that tag ( it could do that by learning what everyone has edit and corrected before )
The larger the number of "fixes" performed in the past, more weight is given to the suggestion ( so few fixed won't trigger the suggestion ).
If the "Did you mean" threshold is reached the system shows the the question and prompts: "Did you mean Finally?" with a link.
If the user click the link, the question is autofixed with the correct tag. If the user ignores the suggestion is it not shown again.
Again, I'm not saying "hey it is too easy, it should be done in 6 - 8 hours" but it may be something to consider.
Here's a link from a previous answer I gave which explains how that "Did you mean" algorithm work ( from a 10,000 ft view )
