<p>See <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/combination" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;combination&#39;" rel="tag">combination</a> (113 threads). Some of these are combinatorics questions about counting combinations, some are about linear combinations, combining distributions, combining this, combining that... The tag has no wiki. I don't think this tag is very useful in any of its meanings.</p>

<h3>Proposed way forward</h3>

<ul>
<li>Those Qs that are about combinatorics should be retagged [combinatorics] or if both tags are present, the [combination] tag simply deleted. I don't think it is relevant to separate combinatorics questions that are about "combinations" from other combinatorics questions by tags.</li>
<li>In other cases, the tag [combination] should on a case-by-case basis be either just deleted or retagged to something  more descriptive if there is something tag-worthy, say, [combining-forecasts].</li>
</ul>
