You want to tie together questions on SU, SO and tex.sx, but there isn't a direct mechanism to do that and users of one site won't think to look for the same tags on another (different site focus and the audiences are different so the tags are different). Maybe use some Meta SU discussion to explore the potential benefits and the best way to accomplish what you want. | |

If you use a term that is unfamiliar, people won't bother to look. 2)When people create new questions, they won't think to use an unfamiliar tag, so it won't serve to aggregate these questions. 3)When people search, they won't think to search for an unfamiliar term. So using the specialty tag alone may exclude these questions from the mainstream. | |
