<p>Both <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/scoring" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;scoring&#39;" rel="tag">scoring</a>×40 and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/scores" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;scores&#39;" rel="tag">scores</a>×78 are ambiguous and should be eliminated. We have a variety of other more specific tags that could be used instead:</p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/z-score" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;z-score&#39;" rel="tag">z-score</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/change-scores" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;change-scores&#39;" rel="tag">change-scores</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/scoring-rules" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;scoring-rules&#39;" rel="tag">scoring-rules</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/propensity-scores" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;propensity-scores&#39;" rel="tag">propensity-scores</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/credit-scoring" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;credit-scoring&#39;" rel="tag">credit-scoring</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fisher-scoring" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fisher-scoring&#39;" rel="tag">fisher-scoring</a></p>

<p>(all of them have clear scope and wiki excerpts).</p>

<p>Apart from that, </p>

<ul>
<li><p>We do not need any tag for <strong>PCA or FA scores.</strong> This is too specific  (and worse, is field-dependent; many questions ask about PCA/FA "scores" without using "scores" terminology). Just use <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/pca" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;pca&#39;" rel="tag">pca</a> or <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/factor-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;factor-analysis&#39;" rel="tag">factor-analysis</a>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Ratings.</strong> For this we have a <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/rating" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;rating&#39;" rel="tag">rating</a> tag. Example: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/94192">Intelligence Squared Scoring and Winner Determination</a> </p></li>
<li><p><strong>Predictions</strong>, as in <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/18832">Scoring new observations after cross-validation</a>. I guess <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/prediction" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;prediction&#39;" rel="tag">prediction</a> would be appropriate.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>======= edit 15 Nov 2017 =============</p>

<p>The <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/scores" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;scores&#39;" rel="tag">scores</a> is now empty. For most of them deletion was sufficient but there were a handful of each of the suggestions given above. I (@mdewey) voted to close a few too as unclear.</p>
