Let's nuke the "error-message" tag

We have a tag named error-message, with now 220 95 49 questions tagged. This is quite the meta tag, because it doesn't mean anything and adds no value to a question. Most problems result in some kind …

Do we need "warning" and "alert"?

Similar to error-message, which we just got rid of, there are also: alert × 26 warning × 37 Neither of these are really specific. They don't add meaning to the questions. Sometimes, alert refers …

Get rid of the [annoyances] tag

I was surprised to see that we have a tag called annoyances (99 questions). Really? Burninate it, fast! Trogdor, I summon you! It is obvious that this is a useless meta-tag, that adds no valuable …

Do we need the [slow] tag? [closed]

slow … Something that is not fast or moving at a slow pace. 276 questions tagged. But does it add any value? Seems like a classical meta-tag to me. If something is slow, then we already tag it w …

What could we do with the [error] tag?

Well, we have a tag called error. Its description says: Please use a more specific tag instead. Awesome. So what do all these 547 questions have in common? A non-descriptive tag. On Oct. 10, @ra …

Remove the [tweaks] tag

The tag tweaks (x60) is very broad and does not really serve any good purpose. It never adds value to any given tag combination, since you mostly want to "tweak" a certain thing – and we already hav …

Get rid of the [hack] tag

The hack seems barely useful, more like a meta tag. It's used for hacking, but not strictly in the sense of security threats, but also "hacking" something together. Should we remove the "hack" tag f …

Burninate the [tools] tag

Similar to Kill the [software-tools] tag, I don't see the point in keeping tools around. Typical meta tag. It doesn't explain what the question is about. If you're looking for a tool to do something, …

The [failure] tag, a story of fail?

Please look at the 226 questions under failure. We are a site for computer problems. Tags such as "error" often don't add any additional value. The same goes for "failure", and it's probably a bit mo …

"mono" tag as in "vs .net" and as in "vs. stereo"

Yes, mono contains 39 questions, so it should be easy to just retag those about the Mono framework to mono-framework and leave mono for audio. If these are more than 10 questions, you shold probably …

Kill the [software-tools] tag

The tag software-tools seems like a perfect meta-tag. It could never be the only tag of a question. What are "software tools", even? People often abuse it for software-recs. Also, a common mistak …

The [howto] tag seems barely useful, please burninate

I call the mighty Trogdor to burninate … howto … a tag with 49 questions. Why delete? Having the tag doesn't add any value to a question. People probably shouldn't specifically ask for how-tos, sin …
