<p>I do not see a clear distinction between <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/forecasting" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;forecasting&#39;" rel="tag">forecasting</a> and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/prediction" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;prediction&#39;" rel="tag">prediction</a> tags. </p>

<ul>
<li>Should they be made synonyms? </li>
<li>Or should the distinction be made clearer (e.g. by expanding the currently very brief <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/tags/forecasting/info">description of the forecasting tag</a> and/or editing the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/tags/prediction/info">description of the prediction tag</a>)?</li>
<li>Or ... ?</li>
</ul>
