<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sampling" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sampling&#39;" rel="tag">sampling</a> is ambiguous and even its excerpt says so:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Creating samples from a well-specified population using a
  probabilistic method and/or producing random numbers from a specified
  distribution. As this tag is ambiguous, please consider
  "survey-sampling" for the former and "monte-carlo" or "simulation" for
  the latter.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>In practice it is used both for survey sampling and for random generation and simulation.</p>

<p>We have alternative unambiguous <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/random-generation" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;random-generation&#39;" rel="tag">random-generation</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/monte-carlo" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;monte-carlo&#39;" rel="tag">monte-carlo</a>, and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/simulation" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;simulation&#39;" rel="tag">simulation</a> tags. Maybe we should do something with it?</p>

<p>As for now, each time I see a question tagged <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sampling" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sampling&#39;" rel="tag">sampling</a> that relates to generating random values, I re-tag it to <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/random-generation" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;random-generation&#39;" rel="tag">random-generation</a>, but I guess I miss lots of such questions. Another problem is that there are already >1500 questions tagged <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sampling" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sampling&#39;" rel="tag">sampling</a>, so it would be very hard to manually change the tags and it would clutter the main page.</p>
