| Mar 15, 2012 at 23:58 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Kevin Vermeer: If there are 20,000 questions with that tag then fairly obviously a lot of people thought it was a good tag! If it was in fact always a bad tag that's simply evidence that the particular site has been badly managed for a long time. I am talking about useless tags like [word] on ELU, which normally has no associated questions. If they do turn up again, we assiduously remove that tag, but we can't stop it from turning up again. Your attitude doesn't seem particularly constructive, frankly. | |

clarify scope of request
|
| Mar 15, 2012 at 23:48 | comment | added | Kevin Vermeer | @FumbleFingers - How do you make sure that there are no no current questions that use the tag when there are 2,000 questions with that tag? By editing manually? What a waste of time! | |
| Mar 15, 2012 at 23:40 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Kevin Vermeer: I didn't know the term 'burninate' until I came over here to ask my question, when I first of all searched to see what else had been raised. It's a useful concept, but in terms of "bangs per buck" I think it's probably not in the same league. Arguably, if a tag has more than a handful of associated questions, it shouldn't be made too easy to make mass changes. I'm only talking about cases where the mod(s) will have already ensured that no current questions use the tag, so thanks for raising the point because I'll edit to reflect that. | |
| Mar 15, 2012 at 23:21 | comment | added | Kevin Vermeer | You might want to consider adding the 'burninate' (delete all instances of a tag) action to this request. It's required to add a tag to a blacklist, and I don't think burnination should require blacklisting. | |
| Mar 15, 2012 at 22:56 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Brock Adams: Yeah - we had a problem on ELU a few days back where a couple of tags trivially needed to be synonymised, but not enough people had enough relevant rep to vote through the change, because they hadn't earned the rep on questions with those specific tags. But figuring out changes to improve all that might be hard work. All I'm asking is that the devs keep each site's "blacklisted" tags in a table that mods can add to (unilaterally, by unanimous/majority vote, I don't care). They don't need to be able to "unblacklist" without involving devs, or anything else complicated. | |
| Mar 15, 2012 at 22:39 | comment | added | Awesome Poodles | Yes. The methods for synonymizing, and disambiguating tags need revamping too. The current system is not working. | |
