The Great Retagging Event - Episode 1: The one-taggers

TRE notes and tips Don't edit closed questions! (This is covered with my query, but just in case) The rationale, if you ask, is an SE slogan saying "$\color{red}{\mathcal{don't~polish~turds}}$". ...

Throw in an idea for TRE (II)

Well, there are various things and taking care of as many of them as possible would be beneficial. Adding tags to one-taggers - there's lots of them. About 150 only in inorganic chemistry. Taking ...

Should I have accepted a trivial add-homework-tag edit on this old question?

There once was a too trivial edit rejection reason. That has, however, since been removed, meaning that SE staff considers no edit too trivial (if the other reject reasons are not met). On the other ...

Should I have accepted a trivial add-homework-tag edit on this old question?

Generally speaking I would agree with you, edits to old posts should definitely be substantive to avoid unnecessary bumping. However in this case it was already on the front page so the edit didn't ...

Should I have accepted a trivial add-homework-tag edit on this old question?

That was me. (Oops.) The question was on the front page due to a new answer on it. (I usually only do cleanup on front page stuff.) I didn't realize the question was so old and don't mind the reject. ...

Revisiting tags: Tag info and Misused tags

Throw in an idea for TRE (II)

I would like to take part in TRE(II). A couple of ideas regarding scheduling. It would be great if this was held over winter break or Summer and perhaps last a few days. In addition, when finding a ...

Throw in an idea for TRE (II)

I know that I'm literally digging up a fossil of a post here, but if this ever happens again, then another good candidate for tagging is pericyclics. Even if TRE(II) doesn't formally happen in the ...

Throw in an idea for TRE (II)

Do the same cleanup as we did at TRE (I). I was quite sad to see that 85 questions now have organic-chemistry as their only tag. There are also 150 questions that have inorganic-chemistry as their ...
