I just logged in a [duplicate suggestion][1] to make "pagination" a duplicate of "paging":

[tag:paging] has 53 questions, [tag:pagination] currently only 4.

But then I felt, the term **"pagination" would be the better fit** for the subject of dividing results into discrete pages, and this just started off on the wrong foot.

I cannot log in the reverse synonym as my score for "paging" is too low.

The current [tag description for paging][2] is:

> Separating results into equally-sized 'pages' typically for display purposes. Also known as pagination. 

[Wikpidia about "pagination"][3]:

> Pagination, also known as paging, is the process of dividing a document into discrete pages, either electronic pages or printed pages. 

*Also known as paging*, but "paging" is more commonly known to be about memory management on the OS level. [Wikipedia][4]:

> In computer operating systems, memory paging is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory.

On Stackoverflow, I see 2368 questions tagged ["paging"][5], but 16672 for ["pagination"][6].

The term "pagination" is used much more common than "paging" in the tagged posts.

I suggest to **use "pagination"** and make "paging" a synonym. Would you agree?
