This is part of of the Tag Cleanup Effort discussed here.

Discussions on the mechanics of this process are being had in the Tag Cleanup chatroom and will be posted in this meta question once they've been finalized.

The purpose of this post is to collect suggestions/nominations/etc for tags that should be part of the site-wide tag cleanup effort that is currently being organized. Please don't use this post to discuss the mechanics of that effort; once I have a few more details nailed down a second post will be going up to discuss "how" to do the cleanup. This post is just for the "what".

If you have suggestions for what tags we should consider adding or removing from questions as part of this cleanup effort, please post an answer. Each answer should include one tag or one very closely related set of tags, for which one of the following is true:

  • The tag is a "poor" tag - it does not belong and needs to be removed from all questions and allowed to be garbage-collected
  • The tag is a "missing" tag - it is a good tag that would benefit a lot of questions but isn't in use yet, and needs to be created.
  • The tag is a "misused" tag - it is current in use but not correctly, and needs to be add to some questions and removed from others.

Each answer should include the name of the (existing or proposed) tag, a brief description why you think it needs to be changed, and a rough estimate (as good as you can manage) of how many questions will be affected. Additionally, I have included a proposed set of "scoring guidelines" to more objectively judge good vs. bad tags that you may also want to include in your proposal - lower scores means worse tags.

(Note that just because a tag is on lots of question does not mean it's a good tag; that's why this coordinated effort exists :))

NOTE: Please do not propose either of the following:

  • New tag synonyms for existing "good tags" - Use this question for that purpose
  • Anything to do with "character tags" - Please see this question for that quagmire

Tag Scoring

(blatantly stolen and slightly adapted from Chemistry.SE's tagging discussions)

For each tag, answer the following questions with a "Yes", "No", or "Sometimes" e.g. maybe it's "yes but only in in some cases". (I've modified this a bit based on discussions with it's author based on Chemistry's useage patterns vs. ours; please feel free to leave feedback in the comments on this, as it's just a proposal!)

  1. Does it make sense to be an "expert* in "?
  2. Does it make sense for a question to be tagged only with "?
  3. Does have a single, universally-unambiguous meaning?
  4. Is likely to be used correctly just based on it's name?
  5. Are there "enough" (> 15) but not "too many" (> 10% site-wide) questions that qualify for ?
  6. Are people like to use to find questions to answer?
  7. Are there likely some users (be objective!) who will favorite or ignore ?
  8. Could be reasonably used to feed questions to a specialized chat room?
  9. Can be used to search for questions (for any reason) in a way that keyword searching cannot accomplish?

* The meaning of "expert" in the context of SF/F may not be obvious. For our purposes, being an "expert" in a tag means: 1) if the only thing someone knew about a question was that it was tagged , that would be enough information for them to feel confident about trying to answer it, and 2) it's reasonable for someone to have a lot of knowledge about as a separate subject, and not only because it's a subset of a larger topic (e.g. would someone know a lot about on their own, only because they're an expert on everything about )

For each "Yes", score +2. For each "Sometimes", score +1; for each "No", score -1. The goal of this score is to identify tags that are "multi-purpose"; since different people use tags for different things, we should strive for tags that cover all the bases.

Very roughly speaking, tags that score > 12 are "good" tags, tags that score < 8 are "terrible" tags, others are likely good but may need some clarification/renaming/etc.

    Since I'm banned from chat, i'll express it here. The approach you took seems to be an extremely level-headed and constructive one. I'm among the site users who are most pro-tag, and of this whole post, I upvoted both the question, AND all answers except for one (even that answer, I agree with to an extent but would like it applied in a slightly less broad approach). tips imaginary hat

  • I think my only concern with the current proposals is: If we nuke plot-explanation and movie/book/etc, then what tag do we use whenever we have a question about a franchise/movie/book that does not currently have its own dedicated tag? My impression is that all of the "fallback"/"last resort" tags one might use in that case are ones deserving of deletion according to these criteria (I agree they're all poor delete-worthy tags though).

  • I'm pretty sure those "instructions" are just the tag wiki summaries, so yes they can be changed. But since nobody reads even those summaries, we'll have to think about which one would be least likely to get drastically overused. Something on the nose like [tagless-work] is all I can think of, but that's probably no better than [science-fiction] or [fantasy].

    @Ixrec that's the problem I have with the 5th criterion. It means that when we get 15 questions about a subject, only then we can go back and tag those. I propose a more question-centric approach: if a tag makes sense for a question and doesn't push out other, more important tags, use it. Especially for work-tags and author-tags.

    FWIW, I've found test #1 to be all but useless on Stack Overflow; there are experts in many niche topics, but they're frequently unrecognized by folks who aren't intimately familiar with those topics. I'd tend to expect the same thing here. Perhaps it's a more useful test on academic sites (I suppose you might search for papers published on the topic to determine this), but how many folks would recognize a tengwar expert (for instance) here?

Untag Decade Tags:

Tag Score: -3

Impact: ~150

These tags are way too broad and it's very difficult to figure out when to use them. They have some very limited use for story identification questions but only if the questioner actually knows what decade the story was from. This makes them impractical for use in finding questions, and unlikely that anyone will follow or ignore them.

  • I voted +1 since Mike seems persuasive in his reasoning, but since I'm extremely NON-active on story-id tags, I would deeply appreciate hearing an opinion of someone who's an active, expert story-id user on whether these tags have any reason to exist.

    @randal'thor To me "expert in the 70s" doesn't make sense. Perhaps "expert in id'ing short stories published in the 70s", which puts us in a boat more like the media tags where we have a different score for story-id than others, but these were so unused overall I didn't fee a need to do that.

  • Well, as @phantom said, these tags are hardly ever used except with story-id. Let's just assume these tags are only used with story-id, and then cleaning up those 6 questions will be a small job, on the level of cleaning up [hairstyle] or [written].

    I also argue they're not good tags even then, because they won't be used properly. We would need to know what the story being id's was to know what decade it was in -- in many cases, even the asker doesn't know. And if we don't put these on every story-id question they become significantly less useful. I deducted points in my scoring because of that.

    they're also often used multiple together, like 70s AND 80s - because the OP isn't sure which decade it's really from. tagging a question with details you don't know for sure is incorrect.

    I say that even in story-id, the tags are confusing. The tag only specifies that it's for the 19xx decades. When used on questions, we don't know if they mean when the book was published, when it was read, or when it was set. All of that needs to be explicitly put in the question body. Using it on its own, without body content, would lead to "What did you mean by 90s?"

    In my experience asking story-id questions, these tags have been useless and would have been detrimental had I included them. I've asked two well-received and detailed story-id questions, but when I guessed the time they were written I was off by at least two decades. I thought a short story written in the 50s was from the 70s and a short story published in 2012 was from the 70s-90s. If I had included the tags they would have been misleading. These tags are terrible and need to go. +1

This tag is usually used in a way that should be a synonym for , but is more ambiguous and thus even worse. Again, a majority of our questions are plot questions, making this tag overly broad and thus probably useless.

  • For the 118 questions that don't also have plot-explanation, I agree they seem to primarily use it as a synonym instead, anyway. So what are we voting on here? Synonym or removal? (Since you brought up the synonym idea)

Much like , this is a tag used only in some of the instances where it is arguably appropriate, but is unlikely to be used for any meaningful search or categorization of questions.

There is also the issue of what people define as a "plot inconsistency", or more commonly a "plot hole".

    On the other hand, it's a bit like having a generic tag for vampires and zombies. Yes, there are specific forms, like in Twilight and Walking Dead, but these are based on the same archetype.

This question arguably applies to over half of the questions on this site, but only gets used haphazardly. This seems proof enough that it's not a good tag -- people do not automatically use it properly just based on it's name, and it can't be used to find "all plot-explanation" questions. Even if it were, though, it is too broad a tag to be useful in searching or filtering questions.

"This tag arguably applies to over half of the questions on this site" - citation needed, and I think you're overestimating.

But costume -[costume] has 382 to go through, a single that fits in it's scope, and 56 results for costume -[costume] design

Untag titles.

Score: -3 (liberal scoring; usage clearly leans to using the tag to denote and easily identify a question about honorifics... but fails in all other scoring - especially regarding proper usage and possible ambiguity)

There are currently only 16 tagged questions and there is a very clear case of tag confusion going on with some people going with 'honorifics' and other people going with 'what is the title of this book' and still other people going with 'why was XYZ book or movie titled as such'.

Edit: Untagged the 4 story identification-related titles tags, so the number is closer to 12. If we untag the 'why was XYZ book or movie titled as such questions', that would likely remove another 4. Honorific-related tagging is very few and far-between... less than 10.

Retag all questions to make clear what kind of books are concerned ( or ).

Copied from this answer:

Whether or not it makes sense to have media tags at all (a discussion that seems to be still ongoing), it's undeniable that is a broader tag than the others. We don't have a tag to cover both films and TV, so why should we have a tag to cover both novels and short stories?

If we get rid of , then our media tags become less confusing and have no overlap.

Previous Discussions:

I propose that these tags be cleaned up from all non- questions.

When used in conjunction with the tag these become useful, for example, to filter book-id from tv-id. However, if applied to all questions they would by far too broad (one of them would apply to every question we have, for example). While it's possible that someone could be an "expert" or "interested in" identifying obscure short stories, it's unlikely they would be an expert in all television or movies.

For consistency we should treat all media tags the same

  • For story-id questions include one of them on every question
  • For non-story-id questions, remove them.

NOTE: These lower score is for all questions; the higher score is we assume they're only used in questions

    Sorry, -1. I think that these tags are VERY frequently used incorrectly and worth cleaning up surgically, but there ARE indeed correct usages for them which make burninating the entire tag from all non-ID problematic. I would suggest opening a separate thread for these where some meaningful criteria for where they do/don't belong can be hashed out in detail.

I generally don't like having a tag only make sense in pair, but [story-id] is an edge case that isn't going away. But yes, if these end up being contentious we can open a separate meta for them as we are with character tags.

  • @DVK If you mean the user I think you mean, rest assured that he personally despises those awful media tags and wouldn't ever want to use them in the way you describe (let alone having an interest in following tags here anyway, let alone piping them elsewhere). Besides that, in general the considerations of other sites shouldn't have any influence on the tagging practices of this site at all.

    @JasonBaker - not sure how it's actually used, but my impression was that book-vs-movies was meant to be used specifically for COMPARING two adaptations of the same "thing" across media. E.g. "which characters die in HP books but live in HP movies". I could be wrong.

  • @TARS - I meant the user you probably think of, but only as an archetype of someone deeply interested in movies but ONLY movies, NOT books (as he very pithyly demonstrated in comments earlier today :) . I'm quite aware that A specific user like that may or may not be a proponent of wideband tags as a concept. As I said, I fit that archetype in reverse direction - I would deeply love a feed of all "Sff-only" content from MTV, if I could get one. The lack of that ability, now that I think about it, is another reason I'm far less active in asnswering on MTV .

    Whether or not one agrees with what's proposed in this answer, something DEFINITELY has to change with these tags. The [books] tag wiki says "Use this tag only to differentiate the book from the movie or other media.", which is absolutely NOT how the tag is used!

    For story-identification I propose using identify-this-x (book, movie, TV series, comic), which scores better on the second criterion (can a question be tagged with just this tag). I remember reading a comment by @user14111 stating they were interested in identifying books, but not in id'ing movies. After we've done that, we can see how many questions remain that still need a movies, books and so on.

    I have seen this scheme used to good effect on M&TV. I think it's clear these tags are too contentions to clean up in round one but I think this is a good suggestion to put on the table for later, perhaps a complete story-id-retagging drive.

  • @MikeEdenfield It should probably be a separate answer, or even a separate question.

    perhaps for story-idenfication we could make sub or syn tags like story-identification-movie story-identification-book story-identification-tv etc. That way we only use 1 tag for story ident and we still get to know the media used.

  • -1. I stated my opinions in chat last week, but basically I think they are very useful as many of the questions on here will need to specify answers from a specific media, and I think the tag can be useful for this.
