<p>I've raised the reputation required to create tags to 1000 - in general this setting doesn't get customized on a per-site basis. It's pretty much 300 network-wide with the exception of Math and Physics, at 1000, and Stack Overflow at 1500.</p>
<p>It's also somewhat difficult to get data to back up the request because tags are hard-deleted when they disappear from the site, so we can't even look for examples unless you provide them for us. That said, there's not generally a huge amount of harm in changing this provided the community here is willing to retag stuff that may need new tags created.</p>
<p>When it comes to tag management, please also consider whether you're seeing tags created frequently that shouldn't exist - such as the &quot;stat&quot; tag mentioned in the comments here. If there are specific tags that are problematic and keep coming back, we can block them from being created again, without the need to block all tag creation for lower-reputation users.</p>
<p>For more information on the tag blocking process, please see the main MSE FAQ about it - <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/239189/how-do-we-request-to-have-a-tag-blocked">How do we request to have a tag blocked?</a></p>
