@steelersquirrel probably worth mentioning that almost all websites consist of HTML, CSS and Javascript; knowing those three languages is enough to create pretty much anything
I can't tell if I tried too hard by saying that thing at all or too little by saying only that one thing and not appending another paragraph of qualifications
so, there's a word that describes when someone says something and you intestinally take an alternative meaning to it because of the ambiguity of the statement

In my first question on the site, I created the tag comic-relief.
It was edited out, because a user thought it wasn't needed. The edit comment was "I've really on the fence about this, but it's a not needed IMO, so I'm nuking it".
I could edit it back in, but I'd rather ask what the communi...
I've noticed several newly created tags have very poorly-made tag wiki edits. One such example is that of the irony tag. The tag wiki (as of now) is
For questions regarding the concept of irony.
This is a standard textbook case of a circular definition. In this case, the tag wiki should be ...
I've noticed @Riker and @Beastly approving quite a few of those bad tag wiki edits. Could you two please review the list of rejection reasons for suggested edits to tag wikis, and be a bit more strict about bad ones?
@Zizouz212 Your example tag wiki excerpt for irony should probably be rejected under the "lacks usage guidance" reject reason.
> Simply defining what a [tag] is rarely helps those using it unless the tag's name itself is ambiguous. Excerpts should describe why and when a tag should be used.
Well, a simple example would be what Hamlet, Mith, and I were talking about in comments: for an author tag, make sure to say in the excerpt that that tag can be used both for questions about the author themselves and for questions about any of their works.
My standard format for those is:
> For questions about the author So-and-so or about any of their literary works.
I think Benjamin has a different format he normally uses.
One custom wiki-edit rejection reason I've used quite a bit here is "There's no community consensus on usage guidance for this tag yet. Let's not prescribe before we can describe."
@Zizouz212 I saw :-) I struggled with whether or not to approve it, since it's undoubtedly a major improvement over the existing excerpt, but in the end (with that meta post fresh in my mind) I went for the strict approach.
@Zizouz212 Not necessarily a meta post. Just seeing how the tag is actually getting used on questions can be enough.
@Zizouz212 If you have the direct link to a review, you can see it even without having an SE account.
Unless the post being reviewed has been deleted - then you can only see it if you have 10k rep (or 2k or 1k, on beta sites) or were one of the people reviewing it.
I think you should edit your answer to mention the difference between tag wikis and excerpts (as Emrakul mentioned in their answer to the other meta post).
