I would have done it the other way, [prime-numbers]->[primes], but I don't feel strongly about it. If people agree with this, it's easy for a moderator to change the name of the tag (but make sure to read the instructions: renaming tags is really weird).

I wonder if there is a non-invasive technique of merging, i.e. without bumping up the questions. Pete L.

Clark http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/account/64/ Okay, so I checked -- of the 36 questions tagged "primes", 3 of them concern primes in the Gaussian integers and/or an arbitrary number field. Upon reflection, unless we get to the point ... Okay, so I checked -- of the 36 questions tagged "primes", 3 of them concern primes in the Gaussian integers and/or an arbitrary number field.

Upon reflection, unless we get to the point where every tag comes with specific usage instructions on some branch of the FAQ, I think it is too subtle to try to reserve the tag "primes" for something more general than "prime-numbers". I would be fine with a merge.

Clark http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/account/64/ I suppose it is possible for "primes" to refer to prime ideals or elements in a ring. Whether it has actually been used that way as a MO tag seems somewhat doubtful -- can anyone check? I suppose it is possible for "primes" to refer to prime ideals or elements in a ring.
