in thread Editing node titles w.r.t. Perl 6

Let's think it trough ...

If you start an official policy - instead of a convention - to use [Perl6] so why not [vim] or [tk] or [*nix] or [LDAP] ... and so on?

And is [BioInf] already specific enough or should it be sub-classified into [FASTA] and [Homework] ?

On a side note ... the monastery has already a keyword nodelet nobody is using.

update

I'm in favour of tagging, just the implementation of an efficient rule seems unclear.

      If you start an official policy ..

    *Chortle* Official policy? Oh dear, I'm really not in charge of anything here. :) Except my own thoughts and opinions. However, your suggestion of [$topic] sounds excellent, and is probably one that has been used across forums (fora?) and mailing lists for decades.

    Since this is by default a [Perl] forum, then that tag is redundant. I think it's useful to highlight that a post might be somewhat off-topic by using a tag.

    Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.

      We already have this convention and I'm following it.

      But infrequent users or newbies won't.

      And flooding the monastery with considerations to change the title according to a tagging standard wouldn't help either.

      So (sorry) what can be the outcome of this discussion?

      The only practical possibility I see is to upgrade the Keyword Nodelet ... but I don't see who's going implement this.
