I just ran into this issue. It doesn't seem to have changed from 2 years ago when this question was posted. As a mod on the EE site, I routinely check the recent comment activity. I saw a new co...
It is probably not controversial to say that if you're creating a tag, you should add a description for it. Otherwise, how will anyone else know what you intended the tag to be used for? Unfortuna...
