Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?

I believe that QGIS 3.0 and QGIS 3.2 are essentially the same series. QGIS 3.4 comes out 26/10/2018 and also belongs in the same series. Additionally, a lot of plugins and features are being ported ...

Merging [pyqgis] and [pyqgis-3] tags

I would argue that pyqgis-3 should not be a synonym of pyqgis because with QGIS 3, pyqgis uses python3 and Qt5 (as compared to Python2 and Qt4). The difference is significant, and there are many ...

Using version tags for PostgreSQL

I think that for most questions the version doesn't matter, where it does I think adding the version info to the question is sufficient.

python-X vs pythonX tags

I would opt for sticking with python-3 because, as @MrXsquared has commented, there is a space between "Python" and "3" at the Python 3.0 Release home page. Also, this would keep it aligned with ...

Is [software-version] tag needed?

No. It looks like the usage within the few questions it does have are about differences between different versions of a software/application or where to find specific versions of software. In the ...

Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?

It is not clear in MapInfoNewbie's answer what to do with the qgis tag, hence, I assume the suggestion there (in response to what was asked in question) is just to eliminate/synonymize minor version ...

Should [Oracle-18c] tag be added?

If we are looking at some Oracle tags then I think it may be worth looking at them in context with all our Oracle tags. If you use [*oracle*] in the search bar it expands to [oracle] or [oracle-...

Using version tags on "timeless" questions?

This is another situation that supports the original version tag guidelines as used on other exchanges - don't use one unless the question or issue is specifically related to the version. That said, ...

Are version tags needed for ArcGIS Pro?

As each dot release of ArcGIS Pro has occurred I have wondered whether or not version tags for it might be desirable. I have been a proponent of version tags for dot releases of the ArcGIS platform (...

Merging [qgis] and [qgis-3] tags

In the early days of this site there was considerable debate about whether and when to use version tags. At that time, I was a proponent of version tags. However, I now think it is far better to ...

Synonymizing ArcGIS dot release tags with ArcGIS major release tags?

Yes. I think we should make: all the ArcGIS 10.x tags become synonyms of an arcgis-10 tag; and all the ArcGIS 9.x tags become synonyms of an arcgis-9 tag The reasons that I think we should do this ...

Implementing new tag for version 4 of ArcGIS API for JavaScript?

Using version tags?

At the time this question was asked, nearly 6 years ago, I was an advocate for version tags. However, since that time I have come to view them as having little value. I think that as long as any ...

Merging [pyqgis] and [pyqgis-3] tags

I'd agree that pyqgis-3 should be a synonym of pyqgis, and you should suggest it (I don't have enough pyqgis rep to do so myself). but we'll need a mod to create it since SE thinks it's a version ...

Merging [qgis] and [qgis-3] tags

Even though I personally agree with PolyGeo's answer, one could argue that once QGIS evolves to 4.x, it will possibly be again crucial to seperate questions asking about 3.x and 4.x from each other (...

Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?

In support of MapInfoNewbie's answer I would favor to completely remove either all supplement tags (qgis.x & qgis-x.x) or the version-less tag qgis, but then I'd like the idea of maintaining major ...
