| Mar 6, 2017 at 23:03 | comment | added | Monomeeth Mod | @bmike I'm just wondering whatever happened with this? If nothing, how do we know when a consensus has been reached (one way or the other)? Just asking because I'm happy to help edit/retag questions if necessary. | |
| Jan 23, 2017 at 3:14 | comment | added | Monomeeth Mod | @bmike All things considered I am in favour of this proposal. However, I do feel that a cleanup should happen as soon as possible, otherwise we risk creating a bad user experience for some users. FWIW I'd be happy to be a part of any team to edit/retag the questions. | |
| Jan 16, 2017 at 19:37 | comment | added | grg Mod | @bmike My initial plan (if this was to go ahead) was to rename [terminal] to [terminal.app] without any need for retagging initially. The tag is misused at the moment, but renaming the tag to something more appropriate won't cause any additional harm in the cases where it's misused currently (it's wrong at the moment, renaming wouldn't make it any more wrong). Then, as part of cleanup, slowly go through the [terminal.app] questions and retag to [command-line] as appropriate. What change to tag summaries are you suggesting? I don't think having three tags is the way to go, even temporarily? | |
| Jan 16, 2017 at 19:25 | comment | added | bmike Mod | I agree in theory with this. In practice, we would need a team to start editing all the terminal questions to retag them with command-line. Once that effort is 25% of the way done (say 1 thousand of the 3.7k posts tagged with terminal), we might be OK making the change to the tag summaries? Or we could make terminal.app and have three tags temporarily. Still process the 3.7 k posts to add terminal.app only where needed and then merge? | |
