I've started a tag spree for .

Is it a good idea or should I stop?

There are tons of questions (surely more that 100) that are related to that exact method and all of its peculiarity so I think it deserves a separate tag.

What is your opinion?

  • Presumably, you mean Math.Pow in some language that has such a method. Shouldn't that language be part of the tag? Commented Mar 7, 2015 at 14:36

    I don't understand this at all, Why is Math.Pow() so different to any other lib function? Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 9:34

If you think that a question will be helped by adding the tag then add it.

However, please bear in mind the following:

  1. Don't go on retagging spree. The last thing we want is for the home page to be flooded by edits to old questions. Spread your edits out over a few days.

  2. Don't engage in a rollback war if others disagree and remove the tag.

Ultimately the community will decide whether the tag is useful or not by either accepting your edits or rolling them back.

  • I've been searching, but couldn't find consensus for method-specific tags (it's a .NET BLC method, Math.Pow()). Is there? Commented Mar 7, 2015 at 11:41
  • @CodeCaster - I don't think there is a consensus. However, as I said in my answer, if you think it's useful add it. The worst that can happen is that your edits will be rolled back. Commented Mar 7, 2015 at 11:43

It's a terrible tag. We don't need a tag for every API method; there is nothing startlingly special about this API method that changes that; and we don't need a tag that only covers O(100) questions either. Please don't do this.

NB you haven't even spelt the function name correctly.

    And if the power-function is central enough to a question to merit tagging, there's pow already. Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 1:51
