@JourneymanGeek Same with extension tbh. The problem with userscript is you need to stay on the page.
Extension just needs browser.
External app doesn't add much over browser + extension
External server could, but that's for later, maybe
@JourneymanGeek @BenN Oh, and. As above, I don't think it should help generate bulk edits. So no "retag all" :P
Right :)
Here's an idea that can speed up this process: Let users edit questions with the tag, one after another, by automatically going to the next question once the current question's edit has been submitted, through a special editing page accessible from the tag page. The system would queue and complete the edits at the desired interval as the user works on editing other questions. — bwDraco 1 min ago

Well, they can override them to a fairly large extent, because the entire system is designed around commu...

Baaasically it seems that if the SU mod team and community are OK with some test questions for a specific, SE-constructive purpose, it should be good
hmm. I'm ok with it. But we're certainly trying to solve a very specific problem that annoys me ;p
Indeed, but it appears to have rung a bell with some other members as well :)

(also, darn it. I'm PRETTY sure as a mod I don't rate an exobrain ;p)
I've heard that term a couple of places but haven't been able to figure it out from context - what does it mean to "rate an exobrain"?
Apologies if I'm missing something well-known
eh, somewhat of an inside joke.
jmac used to joke a few mods were his exobrains - basically so he didn't have to remember everything
;p
Ah
I think Ash (the mod, not the dog) has that in her profile
