The tag wiki for consists of a summary:

This challenge is intended to be solved by using, creating, or resolving some processing algorithm.

and a detailed explanation:

This challenge involves algorithms.

At first glance this seems to be about as useful as tagging questions . One can just about make a case that questions which can be answered by a program consisting of a single literal don't deserve the tag, but we have more than enough of those questions already.

Does serve any purpose?

    \$\begingroup\$ Well, if this isn't a consensus, I don't know what is. I've asked to get the tag burninated, so it should be gone soon. \$\endgroup\$
