I had a recent question tagged with database-agnostic and I thought, that's strange, couldn't most questions be similarly tagged? Put another way, wouldn't a question about a specific question be off-topic? How many shared databases are available to us from a DBA perspective?

Then I realised: they meant DBMS-agnostic. However, I couldn't find a tag for that. Conclusion: the tag is misnamed.

How to get this fixed?

Just to be clear, I am aware it is common to use 'database' as a contraction of DBMS (it is after all three syllables compared with four!) And no doubt there are some of us that think SQL Server is a database. However, I understand this site is about learning and that precise language is important for something as high level and oft used as a tag.

FWIW the vast majority of database- tags use the word appropriately. The only other inappropriate one I could spot was database-internals.
