- I am the user mentioned in this question.
- I believe that submitting an edit just for removing or adding a tag is not enough.
- BUT if you look at those questions, none of them have [discussion], [support], [bug] or [feature-request].
- My guess is that at that time these were not required, so some questions didn't include them. But they are required now. Nobody can write a question in the present time without including one of these tags.
- I edited such a post and clicked submit, then an error came saying that the post doesn't have a required tag. And just like that all my work on that post was back to point 0. So I thought why not add the required tag to such posts.
- Not having a required tag in a question:
- - Makes it look like that post has "broken" the site.
- - Makes it difficult to search questions and categorize them broadly based on the four required tags.
- - It is a "required tag" so every question should have one. Otherwise it may be confusing.
- I believe that adding a **required** tag isn't that "minor", because of the above reasons.
- I would have also opposed an edit for just some normal tags.
- But I am happy to learn more about the site's policies on such edits.
