Just because you can't imagine a case where someone would want to use the history tag doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think we should err on the side of more tags vs less tags for the end result of more organized questions. I also agree, however, that we should narrow the usage to something specific.

To make our history tag into... not a steaming pile of useless, we'd need to make the same distinction, and provide a good description/usage. And for SF, it's more than just "command history" that we might be concerned with, so I don't think it splits cleanly like on U&L, or that it would be easy to explain what a history tag should be used for on SF. | |

Sven, I didn't think about combined searched, only standalone searches. That actually makes some sense to me. bash-historywas never my intention. That is even worse :)

@Daniel: You would tag a question regarding bash history with bash and history, making it possible to filter for exactly what you want. I think this is better than have more specific tags like bash-history.

| Feb 22, 2016 at 14:44 | comment | added | Daniel | That is exactly what I believe. While the tag is is not misused, I believe a tag is only useful if someone would actually filter or sort or search by a particular tag. Who is interested in questions regarding of the history of a command line? There are dozens of command lines, each works different and some are Windows, some are Linux, some may even be DOS :D | |
