I've just added a bit of an edit bomb for adding the mtg-indestructible tag. We've had several questions confused about how it works, and I thought we had duplicates -- turns out we have three on the same basic topics. Adding this tag will help us collect questions about the nature of the indestructible mechanic and its interactions with removal, since not all questions that mention "indestructible" are about how indestructible works necessarily.

But moreover it'll help us locate these potential common dupe topics when the mechanic gets asked about again.

@doppelspooker are there other keyword tags that we should be using?

@Malco some. i plan to add regeneration next, because that mechanic is so confusing, but don't have specific plans beyond that. maybe first/double strike because it is also confusing.

mostly i am just mindful about when a mechanic has lots of questions specifically about it, is a frequent point of confusion, is difficult to understand, and probably is acquiring a lot of duplicates that we haven't readily found because there is no tag so they're not very discoverable.

like 90% of the reason for me adding this particular tag is to make the “haven't we got a question about this already?” question we ask ourselves more easily answerable

fair enough

is there anyway to force the tags be used with magic-the-gathering? or do we just have to do that manually?

nothing whatsoever other than us as curators

it's prefixed [mtg-], i don't think any other game will be using them

Really alot of the big questions and issues come up from keyword interaction, a bunch of the indestructible questions were interaction with deathtouch for instance, and I know I have had to (offline) answer questions about trample deathtouch far too often.

Do we have a good canonical Trample Deathtouch Q/A

@Malco Haven't seen one, but I never really went looking

boardgames.stackexchange.com/q/7598 is the first result when searching for deathtouch trample

what I came across too, answers the question but not what I would consider canonical

something on this level is what I would consider canonical:

@JonTheMon First result does not mean best result.

Hello again guys

Sorry to bother, but seems that some users have again closed a YGO question that wasn't much unclear (for them perhaps) and minor edits could have clarified completely.

I will edit the question right now. Please consider voting to reopen, and please remember to Google or research a bit before closing questions. Or well if you are not familiar with the topic refrain from voting

the question is a lot clearer after your edit, I have thrown in a re-open

thanks

I see that OP didn't clarified so the closing was justified

I hate it when users do not say engaged after posting :(

That would reduce the number of posts closed IMO

Original question didn't really have complete sentences ya, so thats why I originally closed it

closing is only temporary though, once someone who knows a bit more comes by they can edit and it will be reopened

yup

I think for the YGO questions they get closed more often because people don't know how to fix it right then. whereas with mtg ones for instance they can be fixed immidiately instead of being closed first

Indeed, as there is a greater MTG community here

Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the only ones that tend to YGO posts :(

haha mtg is bread and butter here, but you aren't the only YGO user

just the most active one :)
