There are currently tags for:

  • which has 316 questions and a tag wiki excerpt of:

The act of setting up computing instructions, usually stored in a file and interpreted at run time.

  • which has 160 questions and a tag wiki excerpt and full wiki of:

Refers to writing a program or script, or creating a model to perform repetitive and/or complex tasks.

Automation refers to writing a program or script, or creating a model to perform repetitive and/or complex tasks. It could be a simple, one step task that is done many times such as exporting each group of features with a common attribute value to a separate file; or it may be a complex analysis model with many steps and tools strung together to improve accurate repeatability.

Is either needed, or does having a tag for the scripting library (e.g. , , etc) or modelling GUI (e.g. , , etc) make them superfluous, and candidates for burnination?

    I think we have enough votes to start burninating the automation and scripting tags.

As per my answers on the code tag and the programming tag, I feel that both and are redundant.

Any question relating to scripting should have the scripting language tag associated with it.

I vote to burninate both of them.

  • Yes, not only the spatial library (as stated in question), but also the programming language (if wanted).
