| Apr 14, 2014 at 5:25 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 exactly, the means to answer questions (and sorry, no, I always put that as my goal, answering questions I mean). Are they fulfilling that role? I dare to say that most of the time they doesn't, which leads me to my previous comment. | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 5:02 | comment | added | Shog9 | I think you're being myopic here, @Braiam - tags are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. But, that's a topic for another day. | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:56 | comment | added | Braiam | making efficient use of them, and promoting them. The problem is that you can't promote something flawed, and I see a dip in the amount of answers that I give because of this situation since I became dependent of the tags. | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:55 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 I gave up trying to do something with the current situation. If one of the "leaders" of the communities doesn't recognize the abuse which I've pointed out several occasion using several points of views, proposing several solutions and all of them shut down and brushed off as "it's not a problem", what would you expect me to do next? I'm tired of being the only one worrying about the tags. I'm remained that tags are apparently a non-useful tool where the problems pointed could be alleviated improving tagging, | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:44 | comment | added | Shog9 | Look, I'm just saying: if you're gonna raise a call to action and then shrug & say "no one cared" - you'd best make sure you've actually specified what action you were hoping to call folks to. Many hands make light work, but without a clear task to do and sense of progress doing it, they'll find something else. As for this proposal, I think it's pretty clearly dead in the water - folks find version tags more useful here than they find the lack of other tags. | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:42 | comment | added | Braiam | ruleset. That's my take. A family of tags taking up to 1/3 of all questions should ring some alarms. | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:41 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 I presume that's the basic, no? And I already did (before the last paragraph). I'm not saying that someone book should be followed or not, but the situation merits some kind of action. I certainly won't check over 46k posts tags just for the sake of it, and would rather start over/total re-engineering which is more reasonable weighting in cost/benefits following a very strict | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 4:19 | comment | added | Shog9 | You left out actual instructions for what to do with them, @Braiam. Y'know, something like, "add additional tags to better describe the context for the question beyond just the version of the OS". Take a page from Oli's book. | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 1:27 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 I did try but it didn't got traction, maybe a featured could help it wink wink | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 1:20 | comment | added | Shog9 | The query I linked will pull up a handy list of single-version-tag questions - why not kick off a little group event & see if you can get folks involved retagging them? | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 1:17 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 so, where we start? Teaching users how to tag or correct incorrectly tagged questions, fixing everything at the same time? How could we coordinate efforts for a better tagging? | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 23:49 | comment | added | Shog9 | Good job then! We might want to discuss options for identifying these questions more readily then. | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 23:47 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 I didn't data.stackexchange.com/askubuntu/query/171157/… ;) | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 23:25 | comment | added | Shog9 | Don't speculate, @Braiam - find and fix | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 22:56 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 I think we are already in the pitfall. Most reviewers doesn't check that a question has the correct tag, which I have raised awareness several times (first paragraph) and members had even said that they "don't care" whenever a question is correctly tagged. I'm going to run some checks in the SEDE later on and will see exactly how many users actually correct a tag when they see them wrong. | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 17:26 | comment | added | Shog9 | The pitfall you want to watch out for, @Braiam, is where folks add one of these as the only tag on their question. See the discussions leading up to that one as well. | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 12:48 | comment | added | Braiam | @Shog9 interesting, the first phrase of the accepted answer talk about abuse. I´ve seen people editing quesitons just to add the tag and also the proporcion of the tags itself is worring (about 20% has any of this tags). | |

| Feb 25, 2014 at 20:54 | comment | added | KodduX | My questions would be off-topic, I'm always running Ubuntu +1 ;) | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 20:45 | answer | added | OliMod | timeline score: 6 | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 20:43 | comment | added | Braiam | @Tim people most of the time just use the suggested tag that the system offers and some of them already have the version of Ubuntu somewhere in the question already. Try asking a few questions ;) | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 20:31 | comment | added | KodduX | I agree that version tags can't stand alone but I foresee a lot of "which version are you running" comments if they are dropped which clutter AU more than the tags. | |
