A few weeks ago, I suggested a new tag related to 4K. The suggestion had been accepted but right now I don't see the tag anymore.

Is this normal? There is some regulation related to the evolution of the tags?

  • I don' t see it among the synonyms of retina. Anyway if you think this is normal, no problem.

The suggested edit 151881 shows that was the tag that was suggested to be added, but the post revisions shows that was added. was merged with , but is a synonym of , and as such /tags/retina-display/synonyms redirects to /tags/display/synonyms which doesn't show as a synonym, because it isn't. The here is that the question shouldn't be able to be tagged with and at the same time, as the former is a synonym of the latter.

  • Sorry if I ask but, knowing that not all the times a retina-display corresponds to a 4k resolution. Isn't it better to have an independent tag for 4k to be used for questions like this: Mac Pro + 50” 4K Ultra HD LED TV as monitor — Best graphics card?. Here the question is not referring to retina display!

    @Mattia I somewhat agree. I don't think [retina-display]/etc should be a synonym of [display] which would allow [4k] to be a synonym of [retina-display].

  • More precisely, I think that in a Apple environment like Ask Different [retina-display] could be a synonym of [display], nowadays more or less all the Apple displays produced are retina. The point is that 4k in most of the cases is not related to Apple displays and to retina-displays. Anyway, I was just wondering why that tag was accepted and than it disappeared.

  • @Mattia If display is linked to retina-display - what do you do for external displays or links via HDMI/VGA or just a generic display of a programetc Out of the newest 10 questions tagged display only one might be tagged as retina

If I remember correctly, this and this originally have been the edits for . I've rejected both because the tag description was incorrect and incomplete.
