Creating a digital-preservation tag and adding it back to all the digital preservation questions

Would folks be OK with me making a "digital-preservation" tag and appending it to all of the questions related to the subject? With that I might try to do more outreach to get digital preservation folks to follow/participate in those discussions. As there seems to be consensus that digital preservation questions are a good fit here.

• jonsca: If it fits on a particular question, certainly! Use your best judgement.
• Jakob: [tag:digital-preservation] is fine, but please create a tag excerpt. [tag:perservation] should be used for general and analog preservation issues, right?
• Jakob: of course I meant [tag:preservation] (typo)

Answer by AaronC

Do it.

I think the best outreach, however, is to ask more digital preservation questions (myself included).

Comments

• Trevor Owens: Thanks! In general, is it better to create compound tags for things like digital-preservation-outreach or to have things get two tags like digital-preservation and then outreach as a separate tag?
• AaronC: @TrevorOwens I would do separate tags, but I'm not a SE expert.
• jonsca: @TrevorOwens I would say do them separately for now, unless you anticipate a ton of questions with `digital-preservation-outreach` right away. Otherwise, tagging and reorganizing can happen later. Thanks to both of your for your efforts!!
