Jan 30, 2013 at 7:32 comment added slhck Mod @ChrisW.Rea To my knowledge such aspects haven't been measured yet. But I'm very confident that it doesn't have a negative impact – if you search for the actual error message, that will already give you very precise results.
Jan 30, 2013 at 1:55 comment added Chris W. Rea Does anybody actually measure if these changes actually improve the findability/popularity of the questions in search engines? Consider, might some of these questions have been found with queries including "error message" that may no longer match?

Jan 19, 2013 at 17:04 comment added slhck Mod @cpast The error message still appears in a certain program, so it should be sufficient to tag it with that. Think about it: Would anybody ever follow error-message, because they're an expert in… error messages? :)
Jan 19, 2013 at 16:48 comment added cpast Some of those questions are actually about error messages, not errors (like "how to turn off xyz error message", not "I got this error, how do I fix it?"). What would we do with those?
Jan 18, 2013 at 6:18 comment added slhck Mod If the user has more than 300 reputation, the tag will be created again. We could of course ask the team to blacklist the tag, which I guess would make sense in this case. This would mean it can't be created anymore.
Jan 18, 2013 at 5:23 comment added Zombies What happens when a user tries to use the tag after we nuke it?
