We have a tag for questions related to the wordpress.org site, e.g. the .org support forums etc, but people are using it to indicate they are using a self hosted site which is incorrect. Clearly the tag name isn't clear enough.
How can we improve this and make the tag clearer/more useful? Should it even remain as a singular tag?
What is considered on-topic for a wordpress.org tag? Working with the APIs from .org for plugins and themes maybe? Forum questions should go to the forum, plugin requirements and theme requirements should be tagged as plugin-development and theme-development respectively. Nothing else comes to mind for .org on-topic subjects (feel free to make suggestions in the comments).
Maybe we rename the tag to api-wordpress.org and update the description to reflect this change.
I think the tag is fine. The occasional misuse can be edited out. It's about more than just the API: It covers everything related to the organization of the development by the core devs, the administration of plugins and themes, the docs, translations and so on. I don't see a better name for now.
I have always found the WordPress.org tag an oddity. After all, this is a WordPress Development QnA. Correct me if I missed anything, but I struggle to see many reasons to ask development questions about the dot org.
I wonder if the WordPress.org tag might not be a candidate for a fairly comprehensive community wiki question and answer pair.
