One of our top four tags has the following description:
This tag will be removed, do not use it.
It's been that way for years. It's just about the least informative possible tag. And yet, at time of posting, it has more than 40% more tagged questions than soql
(3077 to 2138), our query language. That's crazy. Do we have a way to definitively kill this tag?
EDIT
After looking at one of @Peter's posts on the tag, I realized that there is a problem with removing the tag entirely: some posts have only that tag. Since every post needs at least one tag, what do we do with such posts?
UPDATE 7/29
We're down to 2891 posts for salesforce-crm
versus 2184 for soql
. Headed in the right direction!
UPDATE 12/22
The salesforce-crm
tag is out of the top four! And it's about to be passed for fifth as well! We've now managed to go over five months without any new posts being allowed to keep this tag. The actual tag deletion seems to have stalled, but we're heading in the right direction.
