Oh, I guess two questions: 1) How do you tag questions, and 2) How do you write tag excerpts?
It looks... slightly haphazard?
Like for example, this question has both metaphorsandfigurative-language. Some questions have just the books while others have translation version and sub-tags about their questions
Or like, is there a reason why sabbath is a tag? Genuinely curious. I'm not familiar enough with the site here, but it seems a bit disorganized, even just by looking at the moderation election process.
Most of all the tag excerpts have either just a short description of what that tag is, but not how to use the tag

Right. Very straightforward. But are tags relating to figurative language essential to determining the question? Does a tag need both metaphor and figurative language, or just a specific type of figurative language or all figurative language?
My personal stance (though again, I'm not familiar enough with this site to say for sure) is to perhaps have a general overarching tag for anything related to figurative language or diction, etc. because getting too specific would create a whole bunch of unnecessary tags. I'm bringing most of my tagging stuff from what I do in Literature SE, so obviously there would be some major differences in what is considered a useful tag
@JonEricson Do you have any useful meta posts to what is considered on-topic? That might give me a better idea. With that being said, I'm sure how well a "brand new user's" suggestions would be received, but it's a start
Some days (like today) I log into Biblical Hermeneutics and see not much going on. So I think, "What question should I ask?" Asking good questions on demand turns out to be very difficult, if not impossible. What are some good ideas for questions I can ask?
Meta-note:
I'm most interested i...
I don't want to trash on your entire tagging system, especially as a newbie, but I am confused. Why do we have tags for jesus or moses? Does this aid with experts finding questions related to hermeneutics? Can I make a tag for enoch if I wanted to? Why do we have a tag for both jesus and christology?
