Jun 17, 2023 at 21:41 comment added ahsteele @pinckerman and Timmy it’s an oddity for sure. I’m apathetic about something like this getting changed/fixed so won’t make suggestions on the main meta, but thank you for the explanation and discussion.
Jun 17, 2023 at 17:02 comment added pinckerman Yep, that's why I think they are related. This means that we may never have that information for tags created by other taxonomist owners.
Jun 17, 2023 at 13:33 comment added Timmy Jim Mod @pinckerman it's interesting that the tag information page for the tag doesn't seem to show who created it until it reaches 50+ posts.
Jun 17, 2023 at 11:07 comment added pinckerman I'm ok with awarding the badge only once. But in this way some tag pages will not show who actually created the tag, since that information is available only if the taxonomist badge was correctly awarded to someone.

Jun 17, 2023 at 4:48 comment added Timmy Jim Mod To add, (and I think I saw this on a Meta SE post) - if a tag gets renamed, I think the progress for it resets. Though if the tag reached 50+ questions prior to its rename, the user gets to keep the taxonomist badge. If you look deep enough in the list for Arqade, you'll see a bunch of users who got the badge for a badge that is "no longer available". That would explain why Minecraft JE didn't see the taxonomist badge get awarded until 2020, because there was a site wide effort to cleanup and rename a whole bunch of the Minecraft tags, but there was easily 50+ questions for that tag by 2020.
