Should we have some norm on whether we use singular or plural. For example now you have merged [lie-algebra] into [lie-algebras] so the plural is used, but on the other hand by looking at the front page one finds tags like [fundamental-group]. The majority seems to be in the plural, and that seems natural to me. Perhaps some tags in the singular should be pluralized?

I doubt there is any use in having the two tags lie-algebra and lie-algebras. Since one of them has some 25 times more posts, the other could probably be merged into it.
