I saw the Population Ethics/ Population ethics situation, but I couldn't fix it myself. This will also prevent some of the tag clutter I've seen on a few posts. However, the post will only display the tags on the lowest level of the "subtag ladder", so a post with the Population Ethics tag will only display Population Ethics and not Normative ethics and Moral Philosophy. For example: whenever you tag a post with Population Ethics it will also automatically be added to the Normative ethics page and the Moral Philosophy page. I also propose that adding a subtag to a post will automatically add said post to the page of its "broader tags". This would also make it really easy for the effective altruism wiki to organize their pages. Of course we would still have an alphabetical listing below it in case you want to search for a specific tag that way. This would give a nice overview of the concepts and how they all relate to each other on the tag page.
Maybe we could have a system where some tags are listed under other tags. For example: Population Ethics is a branch of Normative Ethics. Some concepts are a subcategories of broader concepts. These are some obvious examples, but there are some tags that are more debatable, which brings me to: Population Ethics is the same as Population ethics and Patient Altruism is interchangeable with Patient longtermism. We have a bunch of tags that describe the same concept another tag already describes. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I don't think we should have any tags for individuals on this forum. I suspect this might lead to hero-worship or unnecessary psychoanalysis. But why should we have a Peter Singer tag when we can just link to the page of Peter Singer? I find it rather awkward to discuss individuals instead of discussing their ideas. There are a bunch of tags for individuals. That way we can prevent unnecessary clutter. I think there should be a rule that you can only create a new tag if you can actually add it to at least one existing post. These tags clutter up the tag page without adding anything of value to the forum. Right now there are 46 tags that don't have any posts on them. That said, I have some suggestions for how we can make it even better. I think it helps organize the forum and I'm really happy the admins have added it.
