Per Jeff's blog post (The Death of Meta Tags), we should not be using best-practices tag. Question here asked 1 hour ago uses the best-practice: Is it better to return the most specific or most general type from an action method?

Can we block best-practice tag and similar variations?

    Do similar variations include [subjective] and [beginner]? Those have both been recreated too; I mentioned it in the chat yesterday

    +1 for sharing Jeff's blog post. I used to favorite the best-practices tag for its value as a potpourri learning tool, but now I understand its subjectivity is harmful. A better way to learn is to choose topics you want to learn about, favorite their tags, and read the highlighted questions. After two years, I'm unfavoriting this obsolete tag!
