This question was just migrated from SO, and it brought the restricted [faq] tag with it. Now no one but a moderator can remove this tag.

Restricted tags* should be stripped from the question when it is migrated.

*And blacklisted tags, when this feature is implemented in 6 to 8 weeks

    I agree, this seems highly automatable, but for now you can flag these for moderator attention. Particularly here on meta where you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting a moderator.

    I'm tempted to create a silly feature request, mark it status-completed, and wait for it to be migrated... sadly, I know better

  • Refuse to upvote, even if I support this suggestion. You could at least have cleaned that question up, lazy furball!

  • this reminds me of all the questions that get migrated from SO to SU and immediately closed as offtopic. this is automatable, sure, but how big a problem is it? if you notice a question with this problem, flag for moderator attention so the errant tag can be removed.

  • @quack: I did flag the question for moderator attention (Bill the Lizard came by immediately afterward and removed the tag and closed the question). However I can't imagine he'd enjoy doing that repeatedly, hence this bug report for the general case.

    @Lady: what is it that you feel I should have done for the question? I did try to edit out the faq tag, which is how I discovered that it wasn't possible and led me to file this bug report. I also flagged it as a dupe, and left a snarky comment for Jonathan regarding his answer. I'm not sure what else I could have done :)

  • @Ether, the small-font link you gave is actually marked [status-completed] now... I know it isn't, exactly, but it looks weird.

Great suggestion - no need to overwhelm the mods :)

This will be deployed either tonight or in tomorrow's push.

How about letting Community user drop all the moderator-only tags and add support tag as new revision, once a question is migrated to meta.
