MATLAB: Is “matlab” or “matlab code” a useful tag

Question

The tag of a question should be useful to categorize the contents and support finding similar questions. Because all questions in this forum should concern MATLAB, the tag "matlab" is actually meaningless. I think this concerns "matlab code" also, although there are question, which do not concern "code", e.g. this one.

There is a high correlation between the "matlab" tag and a lack of information in the question, such that a meaningful answer is impossible or magic guesswork.

Do I miss the point of these tags? Is deleting the tags the best reaction?

Walter has asked last year, how to proceed, if the only tag created by the author is meaningless and there is not obviously better tag due to a lack of information in the question. Is "no_tag", "no_detail" or "unclear" useful then?

Answer 1

I tend to replace "matlab_code" whenever I can with what I suppose could lead to an answer.

Sometimes the lack of info is such that it becomes "doit4me" instead of "unclear" or similar.

To me it's obvious that if the OP doesn't put a minimum effort in explaining what her problem is, then all she wants is an asnwer from the magical sphere and I feel that this behaviour should be signalled.
