is a bad tag so we should remove it.

For replication, the following new tags might be good replacements (with the appropriate usage guidance for each):

For the SQL Server system database usage, perhaps .

I'm much less convinced that last tag would be useful though. How many people are looking to answer questions about the master system database specifically? Not many, I would venture.


There hasn't been too much feedback on this, so assuming general consent, I have:

The new replication tags will either be used or they won't. I'll leave that up to you all and future question askers.
