Can we migrate office suite related questions to the Power Users community?

Power Users has just been launched and I remember that Software Development has some content related to office suite usage (example).

Is it OK to migrate these questions to the Power Users community?

I had seen 3 "related" question for this :

  1. Office suites category ~ proposed by @Lundin (My answer)
  2. Software Recommendations Category ~ proposed by @Moshi (My answer)
  3. Site for office suites ~ proposed by @SeverusSnape‭ (My answer)

All of these question are related. That's why I linked all of them one to another.


In site for office suites proposal @pnuts said :

Stack Overflow [SO] currently has over 1,000 Qs tagged both [excel] and [google-sheets], some Qs with tags for three different suites.

I have different opinion. As we know Software Codidact is for programming related Q&A. And, Office Suites aren't related to programming. So, that's completely off-topic in Software Codidact. But, in Software Codidact peoples had asked more than 50 questions related to Office Suites (Just guessing the number). In Power Users peoples had asked nearly 8 questions related to Office Suites.

I think Power Users is best suit for Office Suites question. But, Power Users and Linux Codidact is for "OS" related Q&A. So, it would be better if there was other category for Software Related Q&A.

Do creating new categories for per 100 software make sense?

So, if there was any Software Category where we can ask about any Software related Questions than, it would helpful. If staffs create two category one for Office Suites and, another for Software. But, Software can contains Office Suites. So, Office Suites category isn't a good idea.


Wait until moderator create a category/site for Office suites/Software.

Well at this point it doesn't look like my proposal for that category is getting any strong consensus, so it's unlikely to be created any time soon. "Software Category" would just be the general Q&A on Power Users. For now, that's the most suitable place to move all those questions. But it will create massive "bumping" and disturb that site quite a lot.

@Lundin I think Power Users is new site. And, the site doesn't have much more good question at all. So, I think if he(Alexei) migrated these questions than, it won't be bad idea. But, if staffs create another category for Software/Office Suites. Then, mods have to migrate those questions again. And, I think migrating a question multiple times won't be a good idea

My only concern is that it will seem like the site is just about Office questions and nothing else, it will momentarily "drown out" all other content. But the migration is just a single event, so maybe it should be done sooner rather than later.
