Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

How to remove a given tag from all questions where it is used?

When Scientific Speculation was populated with questions and answers from Worldbuilding SE, it also inherited the Worldbuilding SE set of tags.

Specifically for the purposes of this question, it inherited the [science-based] tag; which seems kind of redundant on a site geared toward scientific speculation and extrapolation.

This has been brought up and discussed once, and brought up twice. It seems pretty clear that removing [science-based] would be uncontroversial, and that we might want to remove [reality-check] as well.

What options exist for removing such tags everywhere, without manually editing each question in turn?

Our tag-management UI isn't that advanced yet. (We also don't yet have rename or merge.) Until we can fix that, please make a support request and an admin will make the change. You can make a meta "support" request or ping us in the moderators' chat pointing to the existing meta discussion. (In this case you don't need to do either because we've now seen it; I'm speaking generally.) I saw (and voted in) the earlier discussions but didn't know if that counted as consensus, so I didn't act on it on my own.
