When do you accept an answer on meta?

Question

A while ago, I posted this question here on meta. It got a good answer with a handful of upvotes, which I totally agree with. However, having an answer and having someone do the footwork of cleaning up the tag in question are two different things. And I don't have the rep to perform the cleanup myself.

So what's the general rule of etiquette here on meta? Do I accept the answer I think is right and hope someone notices who can perform the clean up? Do I retag it somehow to get the attention of someone who can do something about it (though I'm not sure "feature-request" is a fitting tag)? Or do I do nothing, since it has naturally buried itself, and apparently hasn't garnered enough attention to result in the blacklisting of the tag?

Answer 1

You accept an answer when someone posts an answer that is acceptable in answering your question!

Seriously though, accepting isn't as expected here on MSO and certainly less so for discussion posts. There's even an open feature request to not calculate the accept rate on MSO because it's so different. Typically I've accepted when either someone has posted an answer that answers my question or when a dev has explained why something is status-bydesign or is status-declined, etc. Otherwise, I don't accept.

As far as bumping things politely to get more attention, the same rules apply here as any of the StackExchange sites really. I've taken long-dormant questions and changed them from discussion to feature-request as well when I thought it was warranted, and I've politely bumped things as well.
