Isn't the fact that so many people, including several Builders, oppose to the wiki definition of solo proof enough that it's seen as useless?

But are they opposing it because they think the idea itself is bad, or is it because they're having trouble remembering how to use it? And what about the users that rely on its current definition for their searches, like what was just described in forum #403889?

It would probably be better to make a new tag with the definition of "a single instance of a character with no panels or multiple views", and let people tag solo on the images that common sense tells them are solo.

We have at least two factions arguing about what should count as solo. That is the opposite of common sense.

We shouldn't be bound by a wiki written almost 2 decades ago like it's holy scripture.

The tag has been used frequently over those two decades and it's now on over six million posts. That's more than half the posts on this site. This isn't like an old tag that was thrown on a couple posts a long time ago and forgotten about. The current use of the tag has been constantly reinforced over those years. Changing its function would force the entire userbase to adapt. It would be like if we suddenly decided to use the gender tags for literal gender because some users think it makes more sense in current times to tag them that way.

On the other hand, if we can think of a name for a new tag for what some want solo to be, then they can use that instead without causing friction with those accustomed to the current use of solo.
