Should we try changing the tag "small-basic" ?

Hi Small Basic Users & Fans,

After closing the Small Basic Forum in November 2020, we have a new Q&A platform. A central entry was provided in Q&A and 5 tags were created, all of which begin with small-basic. After a year, only the tag "small-basic" remained. Unfortunately, this tag is so ambiguous that requests from other areas keep popping up because no suitable tag was found or "small-basic" is used as an attribute of the request. The diagram below shows that most of it has nothing to do with the Small Basic programming language.

My suggestion is that we find a tag that is as unique as possible, such as "programming-language-small-basic" and suggest this to Microsoft via "Feedback". The "small-basic" tag would then have to be renamed to the new tag and it may no longer be listed. Further adjustments may still be necessary, at least for the small basic icon in the Q&A overview.

----------

What do you think of it or does anyone have a better idea.
Is there a better tag name?

    The tag "programming-language-small-basic" describes the purpose of this forum good.

    Your statistic above is probably even worse as I have tried to let posters remove the tag "small-basic"
    from unrelated topics, and at least a part of them have removed the tag, and then the post disappears here.
    Therefor the 59% can be even worse.
