When to retag
- always replace with sth. more general, if Tag is way to specific that anytime soon anyone else will use the same Tag.
Often, these sort of tags are half-sentence-tags which can easily be divided up into more general Topics. - always remove or replace, if Tag is nothing but a number or words like 'do', 'be', 'go', 'but' etc..
Those can be anything and nothing and are unfit to be tags.
add '-operator' or '-loop' etc for keywords ('as-operator', 'and-operator', 'for-loop', 'switch-case') - try to replace, if Tag is used *very SELDOM* (3x, 2x, 1x).
But don't force it. Some might have their merit. - add more specified Tag, if Tag is used *very OFTEN* (~80 and upwards).
Add a co-tag, that will specify the topic further. (for now! until tag-search with && and || - operators is implemented)
e.g.: if there's a Tag "switch", look at the Question and add respectively "switch-case", "switch scenes" or "switch objects".
This way, if someone searches for "some switch" he will find all of them, but then he can refine his search with great ease - always replace with sth. more specific, if Tag is *HYPERUSED*. (>400)
e.g. "unity". EVERYTHING here is (should be) about unity!
e.g. "scripting". 70-95% of the questions are - one way or another - about scripting.
Since we currently don't have a propper tag-search with &&- and ||-Operators yet
and the 'scripting'-Tag is not consistently used (so that a search would catch all and the exceptions would pop out)
and it probably never will be used consistently because of the (very appropriate!) limit of 5 Tags per Question
... tags like that are ultimately useless
