The tag should be removed and possibly added as a synonym for the tag. People get confused a lot, but .NET 4.5 ships with C# 5.0.

  • Bah! I never thought to search for it, so I never saw it. We should flog those who used that tag.

Just retag all 10 (as of this writing) questions and after 24 hours the tag will disappear.

    It might be worth adding to the blacklist though, once the existing posts are fixed. It's the type of thing that's likely to continue to pop up again and again.

  • @Servy - if it comes back, yes. The fact that it takes a fair amount of rep to create a tag on SO will help reduce the chances of it reappearing.

  • @Servy Also, it would have to come back like gangbusters in order to be blacklisted. 10 questions doesn't really warrant a blacklist.

  • @casperOne Well, since it just came out recently, not many people are using it. I'm assuming that once it starts being used by a more significant percentage of the users in the C# tag we'll start seeing more people trying to tag questions with C# 5/.NET 4.5 content, and thus more people incorrectly tagging such content. As of now, there just aren't many people trying to use it.

  • @Servy Take a look at my profile on SO, I think you'll realize that I know that .NET 4.5/c# 5.0 came out recently =) Point is, for better or worse, blacklists come about after it's been shown it's needed, not before.
