Other sites I frequent have a tag related to history (not your command history):

And others:

For some time now, I have felt we could use a similar tag. Questions like the following:

These questions ask why some things happened the way they did, which is what history is. Thoughts?

While it smells an awful lot like a meta tag, I can certainly see the value:

  • It tells potential answerers what the user is looking for (a historical report).
  • It should be interesting for people to read through.

But like , it shouldn't be used alone; there should be other tags.

Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing what other people think. Let this tick over for a week and let's go with the vote (unless somebody points out a serious issue).
