The rest are either about other tools of the same function or the general concept of usage control. I would suggest two tags, one for the Microsoft tool, the other for everything else. The wiki excerpts should include guidance to use only the applicable tag, not both. If another application has enough questions specific to it to warrant a separate tag, we could always break out additional ones. | |

B) Then write a clear tag wiki excerpt. C) Then hope that people won't use it to tag questions about non-Microsoft parental-control utilities, such as Qustodio for Windows. | |
| Mar 28, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | This feels like it should be a retag request as well as a broadening of the current tag. The current tag appears to be specifically for the Windows Parental Controls feature but it could well be made more general to suit other operating systems. I'd be tempted to add windows-parental-controls and retag whichever questions are specifically asking about that feature. | |
| Mar 28, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | tealhill supports Monica | Ah OK :) Still, there definitely are options on Linux. For example, there's e2guardian, which is the successor to DansGuardian. You can run it on each machine, or maybe even on one central gateway. You could look at its logs from time to time. There may be other tools too. | |
