Deciding if a concept can be materialized to a tag
- **Note**: this is inspired by the comments on [this post](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287605/287607#answer-287607) and especially [this one](https://software.codidact.com/comments/thread/7064#comment-18966) which mentions:
- > We have tags for languages because people have interest or expertise in languages; likewise frameworks, design patterns, etc. Who is an ‘interface’ enthusiast?
- This discussion made me question the way I am tagging questions. As I could not find a discussion about this, I am opening one with this post.
- From my perspective, tags should:
- help connect matter experts with the question (e.g. filter by tag, subscribe to receive notifications by a tag)- - very briefly describe the topic of the question (i.e. synonymous with "labeling").
- - be general enough that it is likely to be reused in the future for other questions
- What do you think about this? How should we propose/create tags?
- Based on your feedback, I intend to create a Help section topic about this.
