Some thoughts: 1. If e.g. profanity in tags is becoming an issue, that should definitely be dealt with, perhaps with a regex filter. (If a community runs into the Scunthorpe problem this way, a failed tag creation could be discussed on the Community meta and a valid tag whitelisted by a moderator.) In this case, simply creating "deprecated" tags (whether by just writing something pointy in the tag description, or having support for a category similar to mod-only tags) would not be enough. 2. If a tag is ambiguous, it should be possible to pop up the corresponding explicit options... explicitly. Ideally this doesn't require any special support beyond what's already there: if EE.CD proactively creates, say, `voltage-measurement`, `voltage-calculation` etc. or whatever, then they'll show up automatically when someone tries to use a `voltage` tag 3. If a regex filter is already needed, it could be used just as well to prohibit exact-match tags. However, this would need not to prevent suggestions like in the previous point from popping up.
