after adding the database engine, for example sql-server
and then adding the version for example sql-server-2016
there are only 3 extra tags you can add to a question.
often when asking questions I have to filter and leave some related tags out.
is the limitation of 5 tags a site feature? If it can be changed what would be the process?
sql-server-2012
,sql-server-2016
, andsql-server
which leaves me with only 2 tags for the more specific issue. I think getting the versions & generic product tag is important in this case, so maybe 7-8 would be more appropriate? Only ~13k posts out of 133k have 4 or more tags on them so abuse doesn't seem to be a big issue. – LowlyDBA - John M Jun 14 '17 at 21:27related

tag it seems fair to expect it to be used in conjunction with a version tag: "All versions of Microsoft SQL Server (not MySQL). Please also add a version-specific tag like sql-server-2016 if that is relevant to the question." Not that that can't be changed, but I do think there is value in having the generic tag for search visibility. – LowlyDBA - John M Jun 22 '17 at 19:48
