<p>In <a href="http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/tag-folksonomy-and-tag-synonyms/">Tag Folksonomy and Tag Synonyms</a>, I read this sentence:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>We’ve also slowly but surely been increasing the reputation required to create a new tag from 250 reputation, to 500 reputation, all the way to the current setting of 1500 reputation. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>But I <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/create-tag">added a new tag</a> successfully on Meta just a moment ago. However, my reputation here is only 768.</p>

<p>Is this a bug?</p>
