We had an earlier meta question about this, but (a) it didn't get a lot of attention, and (b) I don't think it really asked the right question.
Right now I'm seeing a lot of inconsistency in the tags. We have:
[technique]
and[cooking-techniques]
[baking]
and[baking-techniques]
(and a lone[baking-technique]
)[best-practices]
, which has been used primarily for technique-related questions- A host of narrower tags such as
grilling
,frying
, etc. - ...and so on.
These are adding a lot of noise and confusion to the tag system.
Shall we settle on a "system" for tagging questions about techniques?
