The [tag wiki excerpt][1] of [tag:format] states that the tag has a broad scope:

> For questions regarding file formats, or formatting hard drives.

We can ask questions about file formats or formatting hard drives under the [tag:format] tag. 

Instead of this, why can't we have a separate tag for file formats and a separate tag for formatting hard drives?

I just now got to know that there is already a tag named [tag:file-format].

This makes me feel that the [tag:format] tag is vague. 

In my opinion, the best thing to do right now is to get rid of [tag:format] tag and, as Zanna suggested in [her answer][2], create a new tag named [tag:disk-formatting] for questions related to formatting storage devices. The scope of [tag:file-format] is a matter which needs to be addressed some time later.
