The tag is used for the mosaic type of censoring. Or at least that is what it has been used for as there is no wiki for it.
Maybe you're looking for something like mosaic_art (although I would delete all the computer-generated 3rd party edits there if I could so there would only be 5 left).
If mosaic censors were instead tagged mosaic_censor, I would think that some stained_glass images would be tagged mosaic then.

*bumping for related discussion*
there's a new tag that caught my attention. rough_censoring's wiki states censorship using pixel enlargement technique. we have something like this, mosaic i guess. though the latter has no wiki, the definition is located in pixelated.
however, the plain word mosaic is quite ambiguous. while rough_censoring has the word "censor" that can be easily understand without even reading the wiki. should we alias these two or move one from the other?
I completely agree with what is said above. The current arrangement is strange for a person who is unfamiliar with image editing software. Currently, those people will have to look up the meaning of a mosaic censor using Google. Additionally, some less-careful users are tagging quite a few pieces of mosaic art with mosaic.
Updated
Either mosaic_censoring or rough_censoring works for me. The former might be more obvious, though.
since jxh2154 expressed approval for clearer tag names, i would suggest:
create alias rough_censoring -> mosaic_censoring
create alias mosaic_censor -> mosaic_censoring
however, what should happen to plain mosaic then? should this be left empty or aliased to mosaic_art? stained_glass?

It is best to leave it empty for now I would say. I know that I would use mosaic on what is now mosaic_censoring if I had no knowledge of the change.
I would say the concept of mosaic as it applies to censoring in more widely understood then it appears in this thread.
Did these:
create alias rough_censoring -> mosaic_censoring
create alias mosaic_censor -> mosaic_censoring
As for mosaic, I mass-edited to mosaic_censoring.
The organization looks a lot better now.
I'm still not sure about how where to put the mosaic and photomosaic tags in the tag group:image composition page.
^ my suggestion would be mosaic_art under the format header with photomosaic as a possible subtype.
If it was up to me, the format header and the composition headers would be equally good places for the tag. I'll take your suggestion and place it there right now.
