<h3>Guidelines for creating new tags</h3>

<p>(Taken from <a href="http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/a/3101">http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/a/3101</a> by @gung)</p>

<blockquote>
  <ol>
  <li>When you create the tag, be sure to create a tag wiki excerpt that states what it stands for, and provides some guidance on how to use the tag.</li>
  <li>You may want to create a full tag wiki with more in-depth information as well.</li>
  <li>Don't add the tag to all the relevant threads at once. Do a few at a time and let some hours (or a day) pass in between.</li>
  <li>You may want to add the tag to existing answers during slow periods.</li>
  <li>When adding the tag to an existing thread, be sure to do whatever other edits might be merited at the same time.</li>
  </ol>
</blockquote>

<p>All of the above only applies after the proposal has been discussed and approved on Meta.</p>
