Would it be possible to make the list of blacklisted tags public?

The list would help establish precedence when determining if a tag should be put forward for burnination. This will simplify the task of proposing and evaluating a .

For example, when I come across a tag I believe shouldn't be used, I trawl through past meta questions in a hope of finding burninated tags that are similar. If I find something similar, I submit a burnination request; otherwise I simply clean up the tags and move on. Having a definitive list will substantially speed up this process.

It seems like it'd be pretty simple to add a Burned tab to the Tags page.

    It doesn't even have to be that prominent. It could be squirreled away under /tags/blacklisted and linked to from the FAQ somewhere.
