Continuation off: the linked "chaos" tag of stak overflow isn't actually about the language #9

Hi, sorry about posting the issue in the wrong place the first time.

I still have some doubts about your response:

Also the context of the chaos tag might change in the future if the language becomes popular, who knows...

I don't think Stack Overflow works like that, but if you have the privilege for creating tags you have more reputation than me, so I guess you'll know better.

But I still can't see the need for a "placeholder": it's very likely that a lot of questions regarding Chaos made with the [chaos] tag will be immediately corrected by a moderator by removing the tag itself, because it's not the right tag; so for now your link doesn't point to any Chaos language question, doesn't have any purpose, and will confuse people (like it confused me). Wouldn't it be better to just remove it for now?

@ThePirate42 no problem.

As I've explained in https://github.com/chaos-lang/chaos/issues/103#issuecomment-863766525 link to the Stack Overflow tag is just a placeholder. Once the first ever Stack Overflow question about Chaos language is asked, we can update the link. Until that, the right place to discuss this problem is https://meta.stackoverflow.com/

A Stack Overflow moderator can rename a tag, see. So for example the chaos tag can be renamed to chaos-theory and then Chaos language can have the chaos tag.

Right now there is not any substantial engagement happening around the language. Since the project is not mature enough.
