There are both on-topic and off-topic here on meta.superuser, both without definition.
What's the difference between them? (Is asking whether something is on-topic different from asking whether the same thing is off-topic?)

1If you looks at the questions they're attached to, not only are the tags used interchangeably, some even have both tags. Just a guess that they were both created so that the asker could find a tag that intuitively relates to their question. If I'm trying to ask if something is on-topic, I'm more likely to think in terms of an "on-topic" tag; plus an "off-topic" tag might seem biased, suggesting that it's off-topic. And vice versa. If that's the case, it's a psychological game that makes it impossible to ask such questions in an unbiased way because the tag gives away your beliefs. Or does it?– fixer1234Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 1:28

2both can be made as a synonym of scope I guess– Sathyajith Bhat ModCommented Sep 30, 2016 at 13:14
