What should be done about animation media tags?

Question

Should animated-series be retired? animation's guidance is inconsistent with its use; it says that it should be on question about animation techniques, but forty-five of the forty-six questions on it are mistagged according to that (they use it as a media tag for story identification.)

Effectively, this makes animation a media tag. So what should we do with it? I don't see why we should separate animated-series, a tag for animated television of unknown style, from animation, a potential tag for any sort of animation of unknown style, when we could just combine the two and add another tag, such as tv or movies, to show what format it was. What are the community's thoughts?

Answer 1

Very late, but animation's description now is:

Use this tag on story-identification questions about works in unknown styles of animation in conjunction with another media tag such as [movie] or [short-film] when [animated-series] wouldn't make sense. Use [anime] or [cartoon] if the style of animation is known.
