Currently we have this unwritten rule to not use *-team tags in ask.
But then some times it may be useful.
We dont have every Fedora contributor on Discourse so tying this to TrustLevels might be problematic.
What is the state here, should the tags be only allowed in project discussion?
Currently they cause unneeded maintenance
And some times not… 
If I’m not wrong, it was discussed when Ask and Discussion were merged.
If I’m not totally wrong, people explicitly asked to use “*-team” only for project discussions and not for support requests in order to avoid confusion and mixes between team workflows and user requests.
So, should we block these tags to only be used in Project Discussion then? That would save us some unnecessary effords
I am not so sure if this poll makes sense?
Documentation is good, just putting everything under Moderator Coordination is not optimal.
The draft we do have now, covers admin and user tasks too. Best would be like the discourse manual does, to separate in user, admin & moderation-tasks.
This way wen we make a poll where users are involved, we can link the draft for them in a public space. That they can see for what this tags are and what the intention is, alias how they should be used.
I do remember when we merged ask to discussion, we combined that the -team, -wg, and -sig? tags have been created to filter information.
Please check out the topic from @bookwar for that:
Tips and tricks: what do you need to know about Discourse platform
If we make this tags just available for the discussion section, we will cut the communication between ask and discussion. The idea is, tat at least one member of each team also looks the ask.fp.o to support if we do need their attention.
More useful would be, when just TL3 and above, could set this kind of tags.
The current way is:
There really is no need to have these tags in Ask, afaik
I had them set to only be allowed there, as that’s the entire intent of having separate tags. I’m not sure how it got changed to allow them. Maybe accidental. I’m inclined to just go ahead and put them back to restricted. Any objections?
Moderators can break the tagging rules. (A “feature” I am not fond of!) I’m not sure if that’s true of TL3/TL4.
Tl4 cant break the rules experienced that myself
Since this change is low-consequence (easily reverted!), I’m going to go ahead and remove their availablity from Ask Fedora now.
This is done — can someone please test that I haven’t broken anything?[1]

It’d be super-clever if it could suggest switching the category in that case…
A post was split to a new topic: Why are there so many KDE tags?
