  • The "solution" in unix.stackexchange.com/a/290906/320598 did not help.

  • @Mokubai I think the removed tags inconsistency (did not exist before) and duplicate were justified for this question.

  • They were both meta tags that provide nearly no information about the subject of your question. "Inconsistency" could be applied to any number of topics and does nothing to actually focus on any specific problem, it requires other tags to define what it is "inconsistent" with. Same with "duplicate". stackoverflow.blog/2010/08/07/the-death-of-meta-tags Tags should provide information on their own, not just raise more questions.

  • From What are tags, and how should I use them? "A tag is a word or phrase that describes the topic of the question." which Inconsistency does not do. Also "Do not use meta-tags in questions. Here are some tips to help you determine whether a tag is a meta-tag: If the tag can’t work as the only tag on a question, it’s probably a meta-tag."
