I've seen a lot – really a LOT – of questions on Stack Overflow that have the tag, but are not related at all to the architectural pattern. Instead, they seem to refer to some .NET technology (I'm a Java guy, so maybe I'm wrong here). Some examples:

What's the proper thing to do when I find these questions? Retag, or just ignore because it is a general practice?

Actually, ASP.NET MVC does use the MVC architectural pattern.

If it really bothers you, just retag them

    "just"? :) There are pretty a lot.

    I guess the real question is: Which of those questions should just be retagged, and which are genuinely asking about the MVC pattern (whether or not they're asking in the context of ASP.net). You'd have to actually read them all to know the answer to that, and as @Chichiray says, there are a lot of them.

  • Any questions that have the tags [asp.net] and [mvc] are almost certainly about the [mvc] pattern, as specifically implemented in [asp.net-mvc]. Alas, there are no automated retagging tools that would make this any easier, but it's simple enough to find these questions.
