While the LW team are currently the final arbiters of what makes tags and tag descriptions, and I’ve been assigning the tag grades in almost teacher-like way, people are encouraged to argue with and debate any feedback or norms we’ve proposed. I do want the community to feel they have a large say in how the system is.
If you think the tag grade system should be different in some way, feel free to say so. If you think a tag has been given the wrong grade, feel free to say so. If you think feedback I’ve given about what would make a tag better is wrong, feel free to argue with it.
I’ve formed various opinions about what makes for good tags (and also changed those opinions a lot, particularly in response from other LW team members so far) but I doubt I’ve yet arrived at the perfect opinions, so feedback and pushback welcome from all.
To me, a good state is where we’re collectively established enough of an idea of what good tags are that the ability to grade tags is granted to a larger group of tag moderators. And also that people are giving feedback and suggestions (or just making the changes in a do-ocracy way) a bunch between themselves. I think that’ll be easier once Talk Pages are live.
