| Oct 1, 2018 at 15:04 | comment | added | Dessa Simpson | @fixer1234 I understand now regarding the first two; I need to give more detail in my edit comment in the future. As for freepbx vs asterisk, I didn't even think to check the watcher count. I will do so in the future. Accepting. Thank you! | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 2:57 | comment | added | fixer1234 | re: 2nd comment, FreePBX and Asterisk aren't synonymous. [freepbx] has 8 questions and 2 watchers, [asterisk] has 136 questions and 27 watchers. These tags are drawing from the same pool of answerers (likely the same people); people tend to follow the most generic version of a tag. So even if [freepbx] might be technically a better fit, [asterisk] is the better tag. It doesn't hurt to have both, but if you're going to have just one, the broader tag is better. | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 2:57 | comment | added | fixer1234 | That's something reviewers may not know, so it would help to include the info in the edit comment. On that particular question, the tag is inconsequential, so likely to be viewed as not a real improvement, especially as the only change. Lack of the tag didn't affect getting answers, and at this point, adding it won't make a difference. (cont'd) | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 2:56 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @DuncanXSimpson, in the first thread, if the solution would be different for something other than Mikrotik, then a tag could be relevant, although not necessarily required since the detail is discussed in the question and title. It's about attracting the right answerers. If we have some networking experts who know Mikrotik but not other brands, and experts who know other brands but not Mikrotik, the tag could be a useful screening tool; not so much if networking expertise generally means you are familiar with Mikrotik.

| Oct 1, 2018 at 2:47 | comment | added | Nordlys Jeger | @DuncanXSimpson but in my experience is Asterisk the more commonly used, even from experts. Therfore tagging it Asterisk makes more sense, because it's easier to find. | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 1:49 | comment | added | Dessa Simpson | Finally, while I agree networking was the appropriate one to remove, I believe replacing Asterisk with FreePBX would have been a significant improvement. If you're familiar with cPanel, tagging that question Asterisk and not FreePBX is like tagging a question about aliases in cPanel with Exim and not cPanel. | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 1:47 | comment | added | Dessa Simpson | Thank you for your answer! I apologize if I'm being a pain, but I'd like to fully understand what happened so I can make better edits in the future. First thread: See superuser.com/a/1351783/341338. The instructions in that answer are specific to Mikrotik - i.e. "ap bridge" is the term that RouterOS uses to describe the mode needed for this, so I believe that this was RouterOS-specific. 2. The fact that it's not hardware-related makes that tag more important, to specify the software running on said switch (SwOS). | |
