No, let's not go actively find and close and/or edit these posts.
There is no harm done when leaving them open. They will get closed organically, if at all.
Also bumping posts to remove tags is a ...

Confusing error message when trying to add a blocked(?) tag
The system is not referencing blocked tags here - there is no rule blocking such a tag. The error is a result of an odd situation that has occurred on Web Apps.

Should this site have a tag for "default tags"?
There are 3 choices as I see them:
Create a separate tag as you propose.
Just mention it in the tag-wiki for tags.
Create a canonical post introducing and explaining the feature.

SO Dataset query to retrieve questions, related answers and comments with a specific question tag
You're right, tags (and title and number of views) are only stored for questions, not answers. That means that for answers, you need to JOIN the Posts table with itself, like this query.

On meta sites, you do need to choose at least one "required tag." For this instance, you should probably just choose discussion. The support tag sounds promising, but it's geared more ...

The [interesting-tags] tag should not be a default tag on Meta sites

Can we see user reputation by tag?
You can go to the tag page, and click on the 'users' link on the top. This will give you all-time top users, and top users in 30 days. It’s not 'reputation' - it’s 'score', so it doesn’t take into ...
