The author of Infinite Ajax Scroll here. Can we rename the jquery-ias tag to infinite-ajax-scroll? Infinite Ajax Scroll is no longer dependent on jQuery and I also think infinite-ajax-scroll is better than the ias abbreviation. An alternative is to create a new infinite-ajax-scroll tag, but I rather not lose the history.

Btw, does a rename of a tag also redirect the old tag? So if we proceed, will https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jquery-ias redirect to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/infinite-ajax-scroll?

    Is it two versions: one that historically used jquery and a new one that doesn't? Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 16:01
  • Yes, correct. Versions before v3.0 are dependent on jquery, >= v3.0 not. Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 22:08

    I think we better keep the old tag and only add a synonym. New questions will only get the new tag, current questions with the tag keep it as is and can be found that way when needed. I would be very confused if I use a jquery depended lib to be forced to a tag for a lib that doesn't have jquery. Alternatively the current tagged questions need to get the jquery tag as well so no information / findability based on tags is lost. Commented Jul 31, 2021 at 6:54

    I'm fine with having a synonym, but I would prefer to have infinite-ajax-scroll as the leading tag. Did you mean it like that? Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 18:27

    yeah, infinite-ajax-scroll would be the target. Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 18:55

    My concern with using a tag named "infinite-ajax-scroll" for the specific package which you are wanting it to refer to is that name is completely descriptive of the functionality which is implemented by that package and it is a fairly common functionality, which has a substantial number of different implementations. There's nothing in the name "infinite-ajax-scroll" which would give users even a hint from just that text that the tag was intended to refer to a single package, rather than a type of functionality.

  • @Makyen I see your point. What would you suggest we do? Keeping it as jquery-ias is also fairly confusing, if it is no longer related to jquery. Commented Sep 22, 2021 at 18:58
