Should we burninate the [code-shuffleboard] tag?

Question

This tag only has 2 questions using it, and I don't think it's that great of a challenge type, since it is vague and encourages no-ops. It also ends up being a popularity contest.

Overall, I think the tag is bland and useless, so we might as well remove it.

Challenges tagged code-shuffleboard:

• Hello World in 1024 characters (currently has some close votes)
• Maximizing output from minimal input

The tag's usage in the meta:

• New puzzle type: code-shuffleboard
• Make the criteria tags obligatory
• The Tag Categorization Project

Answer 1

Tags denoting challenge types should only be removed if

1. that challenge type is deemed off topic by community consensus, and
2. there aren't too many to retag.

In this case we have #2 but not #1. If we're going to remove the code-shuffleboard tag, we should either discuss whether that challenge type should be made off topic, merged with code-challenge, or something else.

Answer 2

The tag name is quite undescriptive, so I suggest removing or renaming the tag:

• If the tag is removed, I think these challenges would still fit under restricted-source as we basically have a length restriction on the source code.

• Otherwise I suggest renaming it to something like restricted-size
