This is a proposal to

  • retag cs.ds.data-structures as ds.data-structures-algorithms
  • rename algorithms as a tag synonym of ds.data-structures-algorithms

Comments ?

as an aside, maybe this should be the template for future retagging requests.

Update: Two tag synonyms have been created: ds.data-structures $\leftarrow$ cs.ds.data-structures, and ds.algorithms $\leftarrow$ algorithms. Nothing has been merged YET, but that can also be done to rewrite history entirely.

  • $\begingroup$ If we believe Wirth when he says that data structures + algorithms = programs, shouldn't we retag it ds.programs? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Is this proposal completed? I do not see the [ds.data-structures-algorithms] tag yet. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Or is the proposal modified? In that case, I appreciate if you append to the post what has been actually done. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It might be good to manually check questions with the old cs.ds.data-structures tag; some of those need to be retagged with ds.algorithms and some of them with ds.data-structures. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You could also create another synonym: ds.data-structures <- data-structures. I think these can be safely merged. $\endgroup$

I'd prefer a split into two separate tags: ds.data-structures and ds.algorithms. Some questions would be reasonably tagged with both, of course.

(Actually, I'd prefer the arxiv-free tags "algorithms" and "data-structures", but I've already lost that battle.)
