| Feb 13 at 9:24 | comment | added | Greenonline Mod | This does seem overly complicated, when we could just revert back to the way everything was pre-Nov 2023 | |

However, it should be said that the proposal of having two tags has now changed the nature of your original question somewhat. We've gone from synonym, through removing this new slicer tag, and now back to having two tags. The more options that there are, then the more complication finding a resolution becomes. The correct way, would be to hammer out in this question what the options are, and then, once they have been decided, then a new voting meta question should really be posted so that a clear voting structure is achieved.

@FarO - Yes, renaming is possible. Whilst I was playing devil's-advocate in my comment above, I did have a secondary thought overnight that maybe even with two well labelled tags, we could still end up with a new user typing slic and then wondering which tag to choose, and potential mis-tagging occurring. So, I have now (for the moment) come back over to the side of just one tag - just for ease of administration. Just my thoughts, this morning.

| Feb 13 at 9:07 | comment | added | FarO | The questions about the slicing theory and process may be retagged with a clearly defined tag, like "slicing-theory". People will type "slic" in the tag field and see both "slicer" and "slicing-theory" and hopefully get what they mean, not to mention the summary also provided. "slicer" could also be renamed (is it possible?) to something more clearly directed to the software usage | |
| Feb 12 at 22:18 | comment | added | Greenonline Mod | Thanks. Yes, I definitely agree. However, the devil's advocate in me says that having one tag for both process and software is great... for a small amount of questions. However, as the number of questions grows, and the two groups of questions grow in size, will it become more and more difficult for someone to find a "slicer" software-based question, when they aren't interested in the process (i.e. the "slicing" tagged questions)? Does that make sense? However, I must admit that I struggle to think of why such a scenario would exist. | |
| Feb 12 at 22:03 | comment | added | 0scar Mod | Very nice analysis! I'm in favor to retag, and update the slicing tag to include process and software questions should be tagged with this tag. | |
