I looked at my tags section and saw two numbers without an explanation.
I'm guessing one of these is tag score, and that is what I'm looking for to see my progress towards a tag badge.
Is there an explanation for what the numbers mean?

The number on the left is total tag score (=score on answers + score on questions). This is different from the score on your profile page on the main site, which only shows the total answer score. (See this question and its duplicate for more information about that discrepancy.)
The number on the right is the total number of posts (questions and answers) in that tag.

Is there a way to find the tag score used by tag badges? Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:24

Yes. That score is your answer score, which is shown on your profile page when viewed in a web browser.– MTLCommented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:28

Isn't that the total score for all tags? I'm just looking at one tag. Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:29

There's also a minimum number of answers requirement for tag badges. Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:29

@haykam Right, but if you're looking at your numbers in the app, you will see a number that includes the votes on your questions– MTLCommented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:30

@Shokhet That includes questions and answers. Tag badges only count total score for answers. Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:31

@RobertLongson Thank you for the better link. Editing my answer now– MTLCommented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:31

That's dumb. Couldn't they just have both? Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:36

@haykam I don't know which way is better; I just find it confusing that the number on the left means different things on the web and in the app. I think that whatever the number is, it should have a consistent meaning. See meta.stackexchange.com/q/243048/266359 and the linked duplicate– MTLCommented Mar 14, 2017 at 0:39
The number on the left is your score in the tag, the number on the right is the number of posts that you've made that reference that tag.
