I wouldn't worry about how **many** undefined tags we have - instead focus on making sure that the top-used tags* (tags covering ~90% of questions) have tag wikis (and excerpts) that are *meaningful* and describe not only *what* the tag represents, but *when* the tag should be used as well. Of course, if you're in the mood and feel like creating some lesser-used tag wikis, go right ahead! <sub>* which incidentally is how the [Tags][1] page is sorted by default</sub> --- To address concerns about tag misuse: Don't get hung up on tag definitions as a 'silver bullet' way to solve the mistagging issues. Generally, people who tag incorrectly do so because they **don't bother reading the tag definition**. A current example of this is the [msi][2] tag, which the tag definition clearly stated that this was for the windows-installer filetype `.msi`, **not** for the company of the same acronym who produces computer hardware. Yet a lot of its uses were for the latter. (It was cleaned and synonymised with [tag:windows-installer] in the end) What we **should** be focusing on instead is *reducing ambiguity in our tags*. Ambiguous tags lead to tag misuse - **even with a tag definition**. We can do this by: - Using full names in our tags (where possible) - Avoiding acronyms or shortened names. - Avoiding tags with multiple meanings - For example: Instead of tagging with [tag:command-line], we should tag with the specific terminal-program (powershell,bash,windows-command-prompt) - Being explicit in the wording of our tags - e.g. Instead of just [tag:power], we should use [tag:power-supply] - Instead of [tag:vlc], we should use [tag:vlc-media-player] - Removing obvious meta-tags. - These are tags that are subjective, like 'beginner' (beginner according to what criteria?), and describe the person or the question, not the problem/topic at hand.
