After we decided we don't need version specific tags, nothing had changed:

  • got an average of 1 question/day in the last 30 days
  • In the last 24 hours, it got 6 questions.
  • has an worse unanswered rate than : 57% vs 52% for the last 30 days, 87% vs 70% in the last 7.

In summary, questioner asking questions with the tag jessie tend to be worse off than those that use just debian as tag. Can we bury it under 6 feet again?

Apparently was silently created 10 months ago by some user. stretch, and should have the same fate. and were late to the party.

  • Question from ignorance: why a slow grind? terdon merged them previously; I assume it was an O(1) operation on his part...?

  • @JeffSchaller we, as community, can handle it. We don't need mom and dad every time we need to clean something up.

  • I don't doubt we can do it -- I've made several smaller-scale efforts to clean up some tags; I just wondered if there was an easier, more-direct way to do it. If manually re-tagging is "it", I'm happy to help.

    Manually re-tagging is "it" — at least for 10k+ users inline tag editing makes it less painful (especially with the Fedora tags; just backspace over the last two characters, then hit space and enter).

  • Is the next step to have a moderator merge the tags?

  • I'm disturbed by the assumption that questions are unanswered because of their low quality.

  • @JeffSchaller no, the tags are no more. As long as they aren't recreated (if you have 10k check the new tags tool) we are done.

  • Could they be recreated, though? Just trying to keep things clean.

I've cleaned up the and tags. As I understand it, if the tags don't get any new content they should be automatically deleted.
