| Apr 29, 2014 at 18:42 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @don.joey This question has a big background in chat. It started as an argument against removing the tag from questions. | |
| Apr 29, 2014 at 18:40 | comment | added | don.joey | @Seth, ok that makes sense. I was thinking about the future, you clearly know more about the past of that tag. I am strongly against removing redundant tags from questions. If that is the point (which is not really what I can deduct from this question nor its answers), then I agree 100% with you. Deleting tags is really not the most important things to do and it tends to get a bit on my nerves when tags are deleted for the fun of it. | |
| Apr 29, 2014 at 18:39 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @don.joey No, it doesn't.. I don't see anyone bombarding the tag onto questions. I just see people removing it from otherwise deserving questions (hence this entire question being asked). | |

@Seth Indeed, I am also in favor of a broad tag, but that does not mean everything slightly related to the CL should be bombarded as a command-line question. If it is important for the question, it should have the tag, otherwise it can perfectly live without it. I mean a question with rm does not necessarily need the tag command-line (even though nothing is against it having the tag! [and here I clearly disagree with some of the edit crazy people]).

| Apr 29, 2014 at 18:12 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @don.joey That's true, but following Braiam's logic none of them should, which is much worse. It's a broad tag, and will and (for the most part) should be used broadly. | |

I downvoted. Not every question on apt-get should have the tag command-line. People will start adding the tag ubuntu again if you follow that logic.

| Apr 26, 2014 at 1:18 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam no, that sounds great. As long as you only clean up irrelevant and not overlapping tags. | |
| Apr 24, 2014 at 14:43 | comment | added | Braiam | Ok, see those links in the light of this comment and tell me, is that behavior (clean up irrelevant, add relevant) wrong? | |
| Apr 24, 2014 at 9:39 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam in any case, even if you were to find and post 132 different Q&As that, in your view, support your position (you haven't), it would not change the fact that this site, this community does not agree with you on the use of the CLI tag. In fact, it overwhelmingly disagrees with you, so please drop this. | |
| Apr 24, 2014 at 9:37 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam Your first link is about code tags. This site is not about programming, I don't see why the same approach would apply. Anyway, even if it did, it does not change the fact that this community disagrees with your views on the CLI tag. Your second link is also not relevant because programming languages but nevertheless, it basically shares my view: "If you're not sure, then use both". Your third link also: "Do re-tag questions to use well-known and popular tags that are relevant to the question". The 4th is a question with no answers talking about badge abuse, again, irrelevant. | |

@MichaelKropat the shell interprets commands that are given on the command line. For example, if I run ls -l, I am using the shell to launch the program, but the -l flag, while still part of the command line, is not managed by the shell but by ls itself. There are dozens of different shells, but you use all of them from the command line.
