Is there anything that you think should be done with questions like "How can I change the legend's location in a pgfplot?" which turn out to be answered by the questioner and for which the correct response is totally unrelated to the question? Such questions are pretty much useless for archiving purposes — I'm not saying it was a bad question, just a question that won't come in handy for anyone in the future.

I guess I'm largely thinking about editing the title and retagging the question based on the actual answer rather than the original thought behind the question. What do you think?

I’m all for editing the title and retagging. I can’t cite an example but this is done sometimes on Stack Overflow and I guess it’s the sanest course of action.

Furthermore, it shouldn’t be offensive to the OP, i.e. it’s an acceptable edit.
