Q:

To burnate, or not to burnate?

I have found a couple of tags that look too much like meta-tags:

computer: has been used once, where the question is also tagged zx-spectrum. (Retagged)
color: both times used with display: maybe color-display would be better? (Retagged)

There are probably more of these on the site, and more will definitely be created in the future. I know we are only just out of private beta, but it is often easier to sort out such problems whilst they are small.
In situations like these, what should we do?

A:

Burnination is probably unnecessary at the moment. But I could see an argument for making computer an intrinsic tag. If it comes up again, please let me know so that I can make the change.
color is potentially ambiguous, so color-display seems like a better choice. My guess is that most people mean something-other-than-monochrome monitor/graphics card when they use "color" in the context of this site. So a synonym (with color-display as the master) seems the right thing to do.

A:

The two you mention are meta tags and unnecessary.
We should nip them in the bud before they become a nuisance.  Retag the questions and let the Roomba do its thing.
