Hi Rahul,

Why do we allow users with any karma point create a tag? AFAIK in Stackoverflow, users need to have a minimum reputation to add tags, else they are bound to use the existing tags.

We can add such a feature to askbot too.

Thanks,
rtnpro

Subject: [fedora-india] Help with tagging in Ask Fedora

Hi

Tagging is a mess in Ask Fedora at this point. Too many tags and many
questions have senseless tags and I need help in cleaning it up.  I did
it once but we need to do this regularly.  If you are a moderator, take
a look at

http://ask.fedoraproject.org/tags/

Remove tags which are too narrow or too generic or doesn't make sense
independently or too small - hp2346 or fedora or manager or 3.3 for instance

You should eliminate tags which are used in less than say 5 or 10
questions and find the nearest equivalent

Collapse tags which are very similar - print, printer, printing and pick
just one that is used mostly commonly and eliminate others

The overall goal should be to narrow down tags to less than 50 or so tags.

If you have questions, feel free to ask

Rahul
