From http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/the-death-of-meta-tags/:

  1. If the tag can’t work as the only tag on a question, it’s probably a meta-tag.

    Clearly, and fit this criterion.

  2. If the tag commonly means different things to different people, it’s probably a meta-tag.

    is more for error messages, so no, but...

    is more subjective. What may be a problem to some people is a benefit to another.

    I would still argue that error-message is not a useful tag. It in no way describes or categorizes the question.

  • problem gets my vote too, perhaps we could go through the error tag to get a better view.
