| Oct 30, 2016 at 11:05 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | @AndreSilva ArcGIS, OpenLayers and QGIS questions are answered by three different sets of our users. There is some overlap, of course, but not much between the Top Answerers of each. I think questions are best tagged using schemes that suit their most likely potential answerers. The tagging guidelines which I think work well for software of the ArcGIS platform have not been reflected in the tagging schemes endorsed by the other two sub-communities. I think there is room for our sub-communities to decide upon the tagging schemes that they think will work best for them. | |

| Oct 30, 2016 at 10:58 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | @AndreSilva I implemented this after three days because the simple switch of what version of OpenLayers the openlayers tag points to is trivial to change (and trivial to change back), and was in line with the momentum from that earlier Q&A that this one was asked in order to validate. I did not implement a merge because that did not have the endorsement of the earlier Q&A nor this one. Burnination of the openlayers tag was not endorsed nor discussed except in passing during either Q&A (yet). | |
| Oct 29, 2016 at 13:53 | comment | added | Andre Silva | Perhaps what I did not understand yet is why should openlayers be treated differently from arcgis and qgis when it comes to tagging; i.e; why can't it have a master tag and version tags? Or if a master tag is useless why not burninating it, just in case someone is willing to lead the activity? | |
| Oct 29, 2016 at 13:24 | comment | added | Andre Silva | I think it was too soon to implement this suggestion, because there was little time since the Q was asked, because there was few votes, and because there were two different solutions in the answer, and the one it was implemented was the one OP agreed. I for example, support the last suggestion (making openlayers stand alone) or buninating it. The synonym suggestion is temporary, because when a ol4 tag appears it will cause confusion again. @PolyGeo | |
| Oct 29, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | Andre Silva | That qgis post has a +8 score answer; so at least today there is a consensus. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 23:20 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | I've just implemented the redirected synonymy proposed in my question and endorsed by your answer. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 0:16 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | The QGIS tagging Q&A did not result in clear consensus on a way forward (at the time) at meta.gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3737/… but it currently seems to be heading in the direction of making its version tags synonyms of the generic qgis. | |
| Oct 26, 2016 at 21:59 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | I agree that choosing tags can be confusing, especially for new users, which is why I rank them as the least important of the three parts to a question at meta.gis.stackexchange.com/a/3353/115 I think it is the top answerers of questions in a topic area (e.g. OpenLayers, QGIS, ArcGIS, etc) that should be listened to the most when trying to decide how they should be tagged (so that they can find the ones they want to answer easily and reliably): meta.gis.stackexchange.com/a/3740/115 | |
| Oct 26, 2016 at 20:47 | comment | added | Andre Silva | Isn't eliminating [openlayers] an option? I mean we would stick with ol2 or ol3. Or proceed as you suggest in the last paragraph; the current way seems inappropriate, because when there is ol4 there will be more confusion, right? | |
