Please blacklist the help tag

Question

Please blacklist the tag help, its a useless meta tag that can contain literally any question. It should be purged with fire.

Answer 1

Yes, the tag should be blacklisted.

I cannot see any useful use of the tag, so I propose that:

• Community members go through the tag page and replace tags on posts with more useful and descriptive tags.
• The help tag is blacklisted so it cannot be used.

Notes:

• While help can refer to documentation, yelp is better.

• The help tag was blacklisted on StackOverflow for the same reason. As Jeff Atwood said, "if we removed it and it keeps coming back, that's a fair argument for blacklist." The help tag situation here on AU seems to have developed into the same, so it should be blacklisted here as well.

Answer 2

No! Do not blacklist the tag!

I think the tag is useful and should not be blacklisted.
