A friend of mine wants to get the “You Got Splunk!” hat from Winter Bash 2022 on Sci Fi & Fantasy SE. This requires that they ask or answer a question with “data” in the name of a tag. What on topic works should they read or watch in the three weeks to make this possible?

Good job. But isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?11115 Android at Arms is in ISFDB, so your query is incomplete.– b_jonasDec 15, 2022 at 22:49

@b_jonas I wouldn't imagine that "*d-at-a*" matches a pattern of "data", so I don't think that is useful.– DavidWDec 15, 2022 at 23:32

Besides, you'd have to search individually for "d at a" (9 English matches), "d a ta" (9 English matches), "da ta" (3 English matches, 7 other), "dat a" (5 matches, none English), and "d ata" (3 English matches) and adding punctuation makes it worse: "d: a ta" has 36 matches.– DavidWDec 15, 2022 at 23:33

@DavidW I believe Stack Exchange considers tags equivalent if they differ only in hyphens, eg. if you try to tag your question with [mar-vel] it will get the marvel tag. Because of that I'm hoping the hat matches regardless of hyphens in the tag name too, and if it turns out that it doesn't, that's a bug that I'll loudly complain about on the main meta.– b_jonasDec 15, 2022 at 23:45

4Why overthink this so much? Just ask a question about Data from Star Trek.– DavidWDec 16, 2022 at 0:06
- Android at Arms (1971), book by Andre Norton
- Cold Hearted: A Tale of the Wicked Stepmother (2021), book by Serena Valentino based on Disney's Cinderella
- Star Trek: the New Generation TV series, or the movies in that sub-franchise, because the character Data has his own tag star-trek-data
Alternately, if your friend is technical-minded, they may post on the site Meta about data-explorer or the data-dumps.

2Does that mean that SE's system strips hyphens from the tag in assessing eligibility? Naughty, naughty. They'll be getting coal in their stockings.– AdamantDec 15, 2022 at 22:27
