The tag seems to meet all the criteria for a tag that should be removed - per the recent tag-cleanup initiative:

If the tag falls into any of these categories, it should probably be removed or replaced:

* The tag is only useful when it's combined with another tag. Like [update], [install] or [task].

* The tag does not describe a specific technology or area of expertise. Like [color], [temporary] or [file].

* The tag could mean different things, depending on context. Like [environment], [noise] or [terminal].

* The tag describes an extremely broad topic. Like [software], [technology] or [equipment].

No questions have been tagged , and the tag's wiki is empty.

Can anyone offer a good reason to keep it?

  • That's a synonym of the unused tag unlocking.

The system will show up the page you mention for any term, doesn't mean they exist in the system. For now nothing needs to be done

  • Please clarify what you mean - "The system will show up the page you mention for any term". I just went to the Tags page, sorted (descendingly) by popularity, and went to the last results page: there was [unlock].

    j0e3gan is not a valid tag but visiting the link shows as if it's a valid tag.

  • Okay, that is interesting...but not what I did. [J0e3gan] is not listed in the Tags page; [unlock] is.

    Unused tags are regularly pruned. At this moment there's nothing to be done
