I propose making the tag log a synonym of transaction-log.
Looking at existing questions, most that use log have the meaning of transaction-log.
For those questions about a time-ordered, human-readable archive of activity there is logging.

log is a useless tag (as is logs), but looking at the questions it does not seem to be safe simply to make this a synonym of transaction-log.
A good number (perhaps most) of the questions should be retagged using the following (mostly MySQL-specific) tags:
(these tags also need usage guidance).
For example (just from the first page of questions tagged log):
- Rotation of bin.log file
- MySQL doesn't log queries anymore
- MySQL general log
- What does "as anonymous on" means in mysql's general log?
- Mysql 5.6 general log file output not showing unix timestamp
- Error Log Location?
- How to Log All mysql queries into log file?
- Export MySQL query log to JSON format
- Out of memory in MySQL error log
- Mariadb - Variable 'innodb_log_file_size' is a read only variable
- Data lost in MySQL InnoDB after crash
- MySQL shutting down automatically
- Show recent select queries on Firebird database file
- Can a query write to the binary log BEFORE it has finished executing?
- Trying to make sense of the InnoDB log file stats
- MySQL "Statement may not be safe to log in statement format" warning
- MySQL slow query log to identify queries that scan tables
- Logging remote transactions in mariadb
- Access Control not logging successful logins on MongoDB 3.4 Community
- How to log who has connected to a Postgresql (PostGIS) database?
- What is default MySQL binlog retention in AWS RDS?
- Mysql innodb_log_buffer_size change
MySQL has a lot of logs. Note also that the binlog is not the same as a transaction log.
Once this is done by people familiar with MySQL, we can look again at what is left, and what to do about log and logs. Probably deletion, and if necessary, blacklisting.
