tag is used as a synonym of , which became a problem because in Rust, we started having questions about the Piston graphics crate.

I want to create a tag, but this makes ambiguous and no longer a trivial synonym.

There are 28 questions tagged with piston:

So I want to:

  1. Create tag
  2. Maybe create tag
  3. Edit piston info or remove it
  4. If this is accepted, we must of course edit these questions' tags.

    Perhaps [django-piston] is better than [ruby-piston]?

    It should be possible to blacklist the piston tag to avoid the ambiguity reappearing in the future; although maybe just untagging all questions and wait for the roomba to remove it should be enough. Commented Jul 10, 2017 at 10:46
  • IIRC, blacklisting can only be done by developers. We can of course request it. Commented Jul 10, 2017 at 12:14

    Should we blow the [piston]? Commented Jul 10, 2017 at 12:38

    i say it would be better to untag everything from [piston] and sort accordingly to [django-piston] etc. and monitor the questions being submitted with the tag and retag accordingly and submit blacklist request, leaving the current tag there to be removed when the blacklist goes through then the tag can be removed, because if you remove it now then theres nothing stopping users with >1.5k recreating it Commented Jul 10, 2017 at 12:51
  • Looks like someone already removed the synonym

    The [piston] is getting rusty. Get Ruby and Django to look at it? Commented Jul 11, 2017 at 0:35
  • @PeterHall Maybe there is a confusion, django-piston already exist with 135 questions and I see no reason to change it. When I said maybe create ruby-piston, it's only because there are two questions about a tool write in ruby that it's called piston.

This was completed.

Here is the current status:

As @Stargateur said, already exists, so I've retagged 20+ questions left, because all of them were related to Django-Piston. This tag will be gone in 24 hours.

Looks like and were created earlier.
