Historically, many SE tags have been inspired from Monero source code (see [tag:monero-wallet-cli], [tag:monero-wallet-gui], [tag:txpool] and other examples).

I followed the [conversation][2] related to this [pull request][1] on Reddit and similarly would like to rename [tag:mixin] to ring size [tag:ring-size] on stack exchange.

The [pull request][1] referenced above only encompasses a visual change in the GUI aimed at making Monero terminology easier to understand for those that may not understand it.

Before proposing a more drastic pull request (removing mixin from all Monero source code) why not test ring-size on Stack Exchange first to see how it is received.

I created a [tag:ring-size] synonym for [tag:mixin]. Going forward either tag can be used. I wont merge the tags until we have reached broad consensus, but if [tag:ring-size] grows in popularity here that could be a signal to Monero developers that a more drastic pull request to remove "mixin" from the codebase would be well received.

Any thoughts on this?
