Questions tagged [featured-tag]
The [featured] tag is a Meta-only red tag (i.e. only a diamond users may add it). Featured Meta questions appear in the site-wide sidebar, and featured questions on Meta Stack Exchange appear network-wide in the same sidebar. Use for questions about when to apply the tag, or how it works.
