05/02/2023, 4:28 PMThe category tags were introduced to categorize PRs. I suspect the
documentationb
busy-vase-39202
05/02/2023, 4:37 PMSo I can safely ignore it, correct? Always use
category:documentationb
bitter-ability-32190
05/02/2023, 4:38 PMIn PRs? yeah

busy-vase-39202
05/02/2023, 4:40 PMIs there ever a time when it's appropriate in Issues either? I'm opening several devrel issues, some of which are documentation-related.

bitter-ability-32190
05/02/2023, 4:41 PMYeah I'd maybe use the
documentationb
busy-vase-39202
05/02/2023, 4:43 PMShould I use both tags on issues, or prefer
documentationdocumentationcategory:documentationb

05/02/2023, 4:45 PMI would personally use
documentationb
busy-vase-39202
05/02/2023, 4:46 PMYeah.

05/02/2023, 4:46 PMIssue tags are freeform for human categorization.
PR tags are scoped and for script categorization.
If that helps the way to look at it

05/02/2023, 4:46 PMThere's nothing saying we couldn't develop a policy where the two are joined

05/02/2023, 4:46 PMIt does!
b
bitter-ability-32190
05/02/2023, 4:47 PMI do wish we had the bandwidth and energy for better policies/discipline
b
busy-vase-39202
05/02/2023, 4:47 PMi think this is more of just a documentation issue.

05/02/2023, 5:55 PMagree with the above,
category:..b
bitter-ability-32190
05/02/2023, 5:56 PMI could see in the future, using a system of tagging for issues too. And the PR inherits the tags of the issue(s) it fixes.

05/02/2023, 5:59 PMI think I asked this question a while ago 🤔
I don't remember the outcome

05/02/2023, 7:03 PMIf we can safely get rid of it and any other seeming dupes, I suspect it would help gain more compliance with the CI requirement for labeling.

05/02/2023, 7:04 PMFor someone not sure which label to choose, the safe choice is to leave that work to more knowledgable people. So disambiguating frees a few more people to do the step.
