The replacements tag (and the replace tag) don't have a tag wiki, and I'm wondering how they're meant to be used. Are they supposed to be used on questions on how to replace things? Are those even needed?

At the time of writing this there are 29 questions tagged replacements and 82 questions tagged replace.
I find these tags are being used in the following ways:
- Indication that a replacement occurred (circumstantial clarification)
- Request for instruction on how to replace (used in the verb sense here)
- Assessment of the suitability/compatibility of replacement parts
I don't think the first two use cases warrant a separate tag; the latter can be covered by a more specific categorization such as compatibility (which isn't used enough by the look of things).
