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

- [Unix & Linux: history][1]
- [Vi and Vim: history-of][2]
- [Science Fiction and Fantasy: history-of][3]

And others:

- [English Language & Usage: history][4]
- [Photography: history][5]
- [TeX and LaTeX: tex-history][6]
- [Information Security: history][7] and [Super User: history][8] are examples of ill-defined scope.
- It's [off-topic on Stack Overflow][9], but on topic on [Programmers: history][10]

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

- http://askubuntu.com/questions/711474/why-did-the-ubuntu-gnome-logo-change-in-15-10
- http://askubuntu.com/questions/42724/whats-the-meaning-of-the-ubuntu-logo-where-does-it-come-from
- http://askubuntu.com/q/281092/158442

- http://askubuntu.com/questions/502280/what-happened-to-ubuntus-hall-of-fame-page
- http://askubuntu.com/questions/56547/what-happened-to-gobuntu

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