<p>We have an ambiguous <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fisher" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fisher&#39;" rel="tag">fisher</a> tag that says right in the tag excerpt that it's ambiguous and should better be avoided. @gung moved most of the questions out of it <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2049/28666">several years ago</a>, but did not empty it completely so it got lots of new threads in the meantime (75 currently). I think this should still be done.</p>

<p>More specific tags are <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fishers-exact" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fishers-exact&#39;" rel="tag">fishers-exact</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fisher-information" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fisher-information&#39;" rel="tag">fisher-information</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fisher-transform" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fisher-transform&#39;" rel="tag">fisher-transform</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>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fishers-lsd" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fishers-lsd&#39;" rel="tag">fishers-lsd</a>, and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/ronald-fisher" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;ronald-fisher&#39;" rel="tag">ronald-fisher</a> -- all fine tags with clear scopes and excerpts.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong> We now also have the following synonyms:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fishers-method" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fishers-method&#39;" rel="tag">fishers-method</a>$\to$<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/combining-p-values" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;combining-p-values&#39;" rel="tag">combining-p-values</a> </li>
<li><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fishers-discriminant-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;fishers-discriminant-analysis&#39;" rel="tag">fishers-discriminant-analysis</a>$\to$<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/discriminant-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;discriminant-analysis&#39;" rel="tag">discriminant-analysis</a></li>
</ul>

<p>I am posting it here hoping that maybe somebody will want to do this task or join the effort.</p>
