@TaylorSpark the html tag would be appropriate for this on-topic question. javascript, html and css tags are often appropriately used with bookmarklet, although there are other cases where they should/can be used too.

If you're asking questions involving code, SO is better. If you're asking questions about the tools for writing these things or end user issues we are on topic | |
| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:24 | comment | added | Mister SirCode | Im sorry if my confusion can be infuriating as some have said. Perhaps you can link me to an example question that correctly uses the HTML, CSS, or Javascript tags? | |
| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:23 | comment | added | undo | @TaylorSpark Please see my previous comment. These tags are relevant when being discussed in the context of web browsers. | |
| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | Mister SirCode | Should tags such as html, css and js be burninated then? If there is a direct need for them, they could be replaced with a more suitable name. | |

@TaylorSpark if it's a question about webservers serving files (which are very much on-topic), the fact that the pages were written in HTML is irrelevant, and therefore html would be an inappropriate tag for the question, and should not be added. Tags must be relevant to the problem being discussed, not every aspect of the situation.

| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:10 | comment | added | Mister SirCode | Ah, Okay I see now, thankyou for the input. also what I mean by "so Html, Css, and Js tags are only available for use, when say we use questions on webserver software/hardware" is so when people ask questions about their html inside of their website/webserver. Either way, I guess thats still off-topic. | |
| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:09 | comment | added | undo | @TaylorSpark I think you don't know enough about web dev yet, but you will soon learn that the programming language used on webpages is largely irrelevant when it comes to webservers serving files. The HTML tag exists mostly for questions related to rendering of HTML in web browsers and similar - which are on-topic since they're about software, not programming. | |

| Jun 3, 2019 at 14:08 | comment | added | Mister SirCode | so Html, Css, and Js tags are only available for use, when say we use questions on webserver software/hardware? Its unfortunate its the same tag as an HTML question in stackoverflow, perhaps a moderator/staff should consider renaming the tags. | |
