Flaging of monogame.extended specific posts on SO. #737

Closed stromkos closed 6 months ago

stromkos commented 3 years ago

I have created a new tag on stackoverflow for questions specific to monogame.extended .

I have no clue as to reason why it was not defined before, but I am asking for you and everybody to go though the "monogame" tagged questions specifically and edit the questions specific to MonoGame.Extended to include the "MonoGame.Extended" tag,

I have attempted to answer questions on SO about sprites/screens without knowing the base class of the source of the code(thinking that the unknown code was locally generated).

I am asking everyone that reads this to fix this situation by editing questions(or purposing edits on SO) for every question specific to MonoGame.Extended.

@craftworkgames, Why did this SO change take my effort? You have been active longer than me.(your project is worthy of a catagory)

There's been a monogame-extended tag on the GameDev Stack Exchange for some years now. This is where most of the questions are asked and if you ask a game dev question on SO you're often directed to the GameDev Stack Exchange site.

While that is true, many posts related to Monogame.Extended still end up on SO. It is worthy of a distinct tag. All I am asking is for help with the existing posts on SO are reclassified with the appropriate tag."

"If you ask a game dev question on SO you're often directed to the GameDev Stack Exchange site." I have not seen this at all with MonoGame questions. They may be transferred more often than I visit the site.

Some posts still end up persisting on SO, and need to be differentiated from Monogame(the only existent tag until now.)

I have not seen this at all with MonoGame questions.

Keep in mind that I haven't been using MonoGame or answering questions on SO for a probably a couple of years now. I was just trying to explain why things are the way they are. Things are always changing and I think it's awesome if you're taking the initiative to make improvements. Every small change adds up.

Thank you. I understand about the break, I needed and took one myself. When I returned, the first question I encountered was monogame.extended specific. I was surprised there was not a tag existent. So I created one.

Many of the single question tags get deleted, and most first timers ask on SO. Hence the request.

I will close close issue this if you want.

Closing as this is not an issue with the project.
