Having recently won a Taxonomist badge, totally by surprise, I'd love to know which if any tag I've created.
I looked at my list of 373 tags, where I can only see 50. I can't identify a single one in which I owned the earliest question. The closest I saw was Lucene, and I know that wasn't me.
I don't think the information would cause gaming. I think gaming type users would easily just make a pen-and-paper list of tags they know they created.
Although this is marked status-declined, it is possible for a tag you've already won Taxonomist for. Simply click the Taxonomist badge in the bottom section of your main profile page to be told which tag it was awarded for.
Alternatively, use this URL:
http://SITE_NAME/badges/11/taxonomist?userid=YOUR_USERID
You can now find this out by using https://data.stackexchange.com/, e.g. by using these queries:
I think the concern here is that if people know what tags they have created they might start using it on dubious questions to try and get the Taxonomist badge. I could definitely see that happening, considering as it is some people do know they created a tag and push it on questions sometimes.
Other than that, I can definitely remember thinking I created a juicy one months ago but I can't remember what it was for the life of me, so I would like to know.
It is unlikely we will do this (that is, show who created a tag) due to the Taxonomist badge gaming concerns outlined above.. and over and over and over in about fifty other posts on meta.
I can't see anything good come of making this information public.
