A question for the CGCC people: are there any common sorts of polyglot challenges that won't be in ?

Depends on what you mean by won't. If you mean "likely to never be posted because it wouldn't be received well", I imagine there'd be some challenges that are tedious/require strict input/output
But that kind of challenge would probably not be well received regardless of tag
If you mean "won't be posted because it's too hard" we don't have a problem with hard
People on the site made Tetris using Game of Life after all
So difficulty doesn't exclude a question
Other than that, I don't see why a challenge wouldn't be using the polyglot tag if it's a polyglot challenge
When you have a challenge involving multiple languages doing the same (or different) things, you use the polyglot tag

What I am looking for is a way to find all the challenges that involve writing code that is simultaneously valid in multiple languages, and I'm wondering if there's a recurring well-known kind of that with its own name, so that questions in that style don't usually have polyglot on them too but only some other term
Essentially, I want to have a sentence in a paper of the form "On the Code Golf & Coding Challenges Stack Exchange, there are over NNN answers containing code simultaneously valid in multiple languages" and I don't want to be missing a big chunk of them
Polyglot tag is your best bet
Because any question doing that should be tagged as such

Q: Add a language to a polyglot

user62131This is an answer-chaining challenge in which each answer builds on the previous answer. I recommend sorting the thread by "oldest" in order to be sure about the order in which the posts are made. Note: This has become quite a long-lasting challenge, and posting new answers is fairly difficult. ...

That should be of interest
and if it's not tagged as such that's just someone's personal error and not an excluded category
451 answers and counting
Also 451 languages and counting
Because it's a question where you add one language at a time

Great, thanks
