Is it possible to do a list of SE sites sorted by the highest appearance of questions with a given tag? For example [markdown]?

Something like:

  • Stack Overflow 3970 questions
  • ...
  • TeX 119 questions

I was thinking about running a script looping on all sites:

for site in ['tex', 'math', 'meta', ...]
   open URL '<site>.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/markdown'
   get the number "xxx questions tagged"

but I can imagine there's a more clever solution.

  • I assume you can craft something from those SEDE queries: user reputation accross sites and Q by tag

  • A first draft here, I was unable to use a variable for the tag, so you'll have to edit the query and then order the resulting table.

Here is the SEDE query you're looking for: is used the most on Stack Overflow.

Note that SEDE is updated once a week, on Sunday morning, so the results might be a bit stale, but overall it gives a good impression.

  • @Basj I can read it but I wonder why it isn’t sorted?!

  • Since the question is oriented to finding the top result(s), updating the answer with sorting would be useful. The query change is trivial - just add order by tagcount DESC after/below from #results.

    @Marcus thanks, I've also updated it to add the correct site names. It's good to revisit old queries once in a while :)

You can use the global Filtered Questions page for this:

just questions with the coffee tag, on just these sites

Just type in the specific tag you want to see, and select the "Just these sites" option. The sites with the most questions with that tag will be shown first with a count of how many questions (which is unfortunately cut off a little sometimes). Note: the main tag must match, not a synonym.

What's nice about this method is that the text box will suggest tags that match what you're typing.
