If I add couple of words between tags, I can made up the titles! (How to call these tags?)

Question

Note: the following is based in actual facts, none of the following is a fictional work.

---

I'm not sure about these tags, reading something like this:

How do I del elements in a python array?

But that's not the scariest, read this one:

detect capslock and numlock keyboard buttons using javascript.

detect capslock and numlock keyboard buttons using c.

Dunno, but I was under the impression that tags should have a well defined meaning and usage (most of these tags has no excerpt or an well defined topic). I get scared when something like this is possible.

How are these tags called? Ambiguous? Are they really good tags? Should be Trogdor fed with these kind of tags (excluding C, Python, and JS tags)?

Answer 1

Those are just bad/invalid tags, no special name for them.

Most were created long time ago when creating tags required much less reputation than it does now, and people just used each word in the title as a tag. This first revision of the first question in detect tag is a good example.

We can't have any rule "what is a valid tag" or have a white list of tag names. Each tag is on its own, after being created we should consider if it's not a proper tag then act upon it.

There is already a recent discussion with growing list of such tags.
