| Sep 30, 2022 at 18:00 | comment | added | V2Blast Staff | I've tagged this post as [status-completed], since it looks like the help tag has been removed from all questions on this Meta site. There's a separate request to block the tag on this Meta site, which I've declined because the tag currently hasn't been recreated after being burninated. | |

Based on a quick search, I've only found one previous post specifically about getting rid of the help tag from this meta site: Burninate the meta tags {help} and {features}? – but nothing in that discussion necessarily confirms that it was actually burninated at the time. Any other past discussions on Ask Ubuntu Meta seem to be about the help tag on the main Ask Ubuntu site, not on this Meta. (I haven't found anything to suggest that the help tag has actually sprung up again after being burninated on this meta site...)

@linuxtechnical: Both of those links seem to be about the help tag being used on the main Ask Ubuntu site, not on the meta site. (And it looks like the first request just wasn't acted on; the tag was only blocked on the main Ask Ubuntu site once the second request was acted on.) While there are better tags to use instead of help on meta, I'm not sure the tag's actually been removed from meta before this discussion (so I'm not sure it's actually been recreated).

| Aug 20, 2022 at 21:46 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | @linuxtechnical Thanks for that. The tag has been again pruned out, I will look into getting the tag more permanently barred. | |
| Aug 20, 2022 at 6:56 | comment | added | Missing User | This tag should be not used in any posts. It has been blacklisted multiple times but has never gone away. See meta.askubuntu.com/questions/2179/why-do-we-have-a-help-tag and meta.askubuntu.com/questions/3706/please-blacklist-the-help-tag | |

Now I see the [meta-tag:tag] syntax :)

| Aug 17, 2022 at 7:07 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | Mind you there are only 17 questions so it could easily be done manually rather than formally merging. But nice to see some discussion from the community first of course... | |
| Aug 17, 2022 at 6:46 | comment | added | cocomac | @andrew.46 Ehh… There’s at least one that is already a Discussion, as well as at least that’s a Feature Request. So if you merge them, we should manually go through and remove the help tag from those few first | |
| Aug 17, 2022 at 6:40 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | And just to get the discussion going there is a nice post on merging / destroying / synonyms for tags here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/119111/… IMHO this particular tag issue could be solved by merging 'help' into 'Support' without creating a synonym. This of course destructively removes the 'Help' tag from older questions (replacing with 'Support') and leaves the tag clear to be removed by the system after 24 hours of non-use. | |
