I propose to synonymize these three tags:

Probably the currently largest tag (subdirectory) should become the master tag.

    I would argue all three of those tags should be deleted.

    If we do keep them, we should somehow pun-group them into a single subdirectory. But I think I'm with @cpburnz in saying we should delete them.

    Maybe "Should we make [subdirectories] and [subdirs] subdirectories of [subdirectory]?"

    There are also [folder] variants that may need the same treatment Commented Feb 11, 2016 at 10:26

I have a issue with this proposal. And it comes in the figure of a question:

https://stackoverflow.com/q/35323161/792066

(newest question when I started writing this answer)

The , out of 541 questions, 310 have no language tags (the most popular were: php, wordpress, git, python, c#, java, c, ruby*, c++, perl), 53% of the total. is slightly more, 54% (136 out 249). Most of these can and should be closed using off topic > general computing without a second thought. So I propose that we retag this from to .

All of these tags should be subdirectories of /dev/null.

Honestly, nuke 'em. From orbit. With lightness racing…

    inb4 /dev/null is a "file" not a directory and cannot have subdirectories shutup.png Commented Feb 13, 2016 at 0:00

    At the very least, they can simply be synonymized to directory. Commented Feb 13, 2016 at 0:51
