@BarafuAlbino I don't think that's how tags work. If you browse device, you will only get questions that are explicitly tagged device, not printer or mouse.

All of the mentioned tags? What I say is that there must be tag that encompasses all specific tags, like [printer] or [mouse]. | |

device is so broad it is useless. A programming-language tag is more akin to naming your operating system or architecture, which is actually useful and will be relevant to answering the question.

Isn't device is the equivalent to programming-language (as opposed to e.g. framework?). python is more like printer...

Made it more clear.

On StackOverflow we have tags like [Java] [Python], not only [function] [class] [inheritance]. As long as no hierarhy of tags supported, we should have global and more specific tags side-by-side. By saying this I presume tags are intended to find questions one can answer, not just to omit stating your OS in question text. | |

We already have individual tags for printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, trackpad, usb-hub, docking-station, external-hard-drive, usb-flash-drive, mobile-phone, modem, dongle, monitor, nas, router, wireless-router, wireless-access-point... and probably a lot more I didn't find just now. How is devices more useful, or as useful, as the more specific alternatives? How do you suggest the tag be used? Is it actually used that way?
