Is [limits] useful as tag?

Question

Here on Meta we have a tag limits. It doesn't come with a wiki. There are no watchers for that tag.

Looking at the 52 questions in that tag you'll find ones about question bans, input limits, voting limits, technical limits. I wouldn't say that tag will ever describe the question, except that the word by itself is part of the content of the question. That doesn't add anything you can't search for.

Asking about limits is on topic on MSE but the types of limits are broad and without context, a question tagged with only limits is missing obvious context.

I propose those 52 questions are re-tagged with their correct context tag:

• character-limit
• voting-limits
• daily-reputation-limit
• answer-limit
• rate-limiting

For the remainder of the questions the tag should be removed.

Those actions should lead to a burnination of the tag limits.

Answer 1

The limits tag isn't useful, as already addressed in another answer. As for what to do about it, I suggest a refinement to your plan: retag with the listed tags where that adds value, in batches no larger than ten total retaggings per day, and then burninate limits. In some cases, like old closed questions that have other relevant tags already, we can just let the burnination nuke it without replacement. For example, I saw a closed question already tagged reputation; adding reputation-limits there won't help anybody, so just skip it. It's ok to not tag every nuance of a question if the tags that are already there are sufficient. If somebody comes across the question later and organically adds tags, that's fine but not required.
