Suggesting saffron_(disambiguation) go in invalid category because that's where disambiguation tags go now.
(and "ambiguous" isn't a category yet)

The four remaining posts are probably going to rot there, because they have either no source at all or a source that is so dead even the Wayback Machine's one snapshot is also an error page.

On that note, I've noticed that a lot of these recently disambiguated tags have wrong post counts. This one is currently at -8, and I've seen it go lower before.

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes too. Apparently it's not uncommon for tag counts to be just a little bit off. But occasionally it gets way way off, like a percentage of the time after an alias (but not every time).

But I know that for disambiguation tags especially, having the displayed tag count be closer to what is actually there is very helpful for monitoring those tags. I just went through a lot of the more recent disambiguation tags, so most of those should be updated and accurate now. But I'm sure there's others that are not. So if you can keep track when you notice some that are off and give me a list at some point, then I can quickly update those too.
