While working on some other stuff I noticed that there are around 40 tags for various team fortress 2 items that are virtually unused.
Of these there is exactly 1 tag that's been used on more than 4 posts in the past 5 years. More than half of these have only been used once or twice ever. Are all these really necessary? They primarily cause confusion for people who aren't familiar with TF2 and some are easily misused as they have wiki-pages that make clear the tag refers specifically to the TF2 item, but lack any annotation on the tag itself. teleporter was an example of that but I changed that wiki entry just now to fix it.
Shouldn't these just be nuked if nobody's using them? The alternative would be that people who are familiar with TF2 and care enough about these tags weed through them, add necessary annotations, and start uploading posts that used them at least somewhat regularly.
Most used tags (as # of posts in past 5 years):
- sentry: 5x
- dispenser (team fortress): 4x
- eyelander: 4x
- jarate: 4x
- chargin' targe: 3x
- stickybomb: 3x
Below I included a listing of these tags, together with how many posts use them.
