<p>Thanks for the discussion. I replaced the wiki excerpt for <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/interval" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;interval&#39;" rel="tag">interval</a> with</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TAG. It's slowly being deleted. Use [confidence-interval], [credible-interval], [prediction-interval], [tolerance-interval], [interval-censoring], or [ordinal] if you want to ask about ordinal-vs-interval data.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>and will probably start slowly retagging existing threads. If anybody wants to help with this, please do.</p>

<hr>

<p><strong>Update (Feb 12):</strong> The tag is eliminated.</p>
