EDIT: It was suggested I revise my question, so here goes nothing:
Is it possible to disallow a tag to be used, or heavily discourage it; but keep the original tag, and all of its posts? ie: tags for old names of products still in use, and questions being mistagged as them by users not knowing the name.
The History:
To my knowledge, Adobe originally released the Adobe Flashbuilder IDE under a differnet name, "Flexbuilder". Therefore, Adobe Flexbuilder
is REALLY Adobe Flashbuilder
; and Adobe Flexbuilder-3
is REALLY Adobe Flashbuilder-3
. After version four they released it under the proper (new) name. Flex
however, is the actual SDK that the IDE favors using, whilst it still supports Actionscript-3
only projects (as does the Flash IDE.)
Therefore, valid tag combinations are:
flex flashbuilder
flex flashbuilder flex4.5
An example of an invalid combination is:
flex3 flashbuilder (very unlikely, so no. (requires hacking))
flexbuilder flex4 (straight out impossible.)
Proposed Solution:
In reply to the bottom comment by Mat... No, because Flexbuilder refers to the Adobe Flash Builder pre version 4. So it's really a different version tag :/ Flexbuilder should be Flashbuilder-2 and Flexbuilder-3 should be Flashbuilder-3 or something. That would streamline the tags. (this is my proposed solution)
My Question:
How would we solve this?
