console.readline tag does not look good to me
The console.readline tag has been created for Q: How to read lines into an array in Bash, which uses a while read loop.
That tag is inappropriate because
Readline, the console and the read built-in are mostly unrelated concepts, and only the latter is part of the question.
Please consider removing it.

I have created this tag because reading lines from the standard input stream is a basic task found in many programming languages. I have also noticed that the tag exists on SO, but this is only to have a rough idea if the concept makes sense to more people (we do not have to copy their tags).
[standard-input-stream-readline] comes into my mind, but it seems rather long.
I see the following options:
- scrap the tag
- rename the tag to make sense for more frameworks (suggestions needed)
- keep the tag as it is, but remove it from the indicated question since it does not make sense to have it
While I tend to agree with @Alexei that reading from the standard input is quite a common issue I also think that console.readline tag is too narrow and therefore it shouldn't exists.
On the other hand console tag (this one is already created) would fit.
