| Jan 18, 2011 at 9:01 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Andrew: Now you can reverse the "faq-provisional" of that question to "faq". | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:59 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: then it makes sense to initially tag these as, say, "faq-provisional". Then to tag them as "faq" when they're stable, and finally if someone comes along later with a suggestion, they should flag for moderator attention. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:17 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Andrew: OK, I did the experiment. No way, I can't remove the tag, with or without modifying the answer. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:09 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: PS if you could remove the tag (and I think you should do the experiment - now with another post of course) then that makes the locking a bit ludicrous. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:08 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: I've just changed the tag from "faq" to "faq-provisional". It may be that that question is now stable, but there's also the precedent to consider. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:05 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Andrew: I quite agree. Although for that particular question I'd say that the stage "consensus" was already there. Or do you mean: It would have been quite OK for me to remove it; it can easily be reintroduced? | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 19:02 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: Well, maybe we avoid the tag "faq" until people are happy with it. The intention of that question was for people to be able to edit the question until a consensus was arrived at, then for it to become an unofficial faq entry. Because of the tag behaviour, tagging it "faq" should have happened last instead of first. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 14:14 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Andrew: Ah, writing in the actual question that the tag prevents deletion is a nice "workaround". Good idea! But we don't want to avoid tags like "faq" and "featured", do we? And we can't possible avoid the "status-..." tags, so your "Secondly" doesn't seem to work. Concerning your other comment, I don't dare test it as I can't put the tag back in, but you might also want to look at my question over at meta.SO; maybe you understand better what they're saying there. | |
| Jan 15, 2011 at 21:23 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: It just occurred to me: what if you edit the question and then remove the problematic tag? | |
| Jan 15, 2011 at 21:22 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey Mod | @Hendrik: Firstly, which tags are moderator-only? Secondly, avoid these tags unless absolutely necessary. Thirdly, if one of these tags must be used, the question should explicitly say that the question can't be edited by a non-moderator and that any suggestions of changes should be made in the answers/comments. | |
| Jan 15, 2011 at 9:51 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | I agree, but what can be done? | |
