"Yea" for changing it to [dnd-essentials]. That just looks like an oversight. "Nay" for trying to read the minds of future Wizards development teams. We should tag it what it's called, and worry abou …

On the other hand, one of the legitimate uses of the system-agnostic tag could be to clearly flag a question as wanting answers that are system-agnostic. (For example this question and this question.) …

[trivia] It fits both criteria.

Possibly redundant with social, recruiting, and the more-specific problem-players and new-players tags. …

Tag no longer exists, and is blacklisted to prevent re-creation. [rules] This one hasn't been settled yet. Means different things to different people at different times in different contexts, an …
