Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

On a tag's wiki, list every community proposal using the tag on a question

When looking at a tag in the Incubator Q/A category, I often want to know which community that tag belongs to. As is the case today, tags in that category aren't actually confined to a single community, but shared between all the community proposals that happen to have posts using the tag. It would be quite helpful, then, if for each tag, I can see a list of all the community proposals using it. I believe an ideal location for this would be on the tag wiki.

In other words, the list on tag X consists of the set of community proposal tags found on all questions also tagged with X.

Just to make sure: You know that you can click on a tag and see a list of all questions that belong to them? The proposal question is part of that list and (most of the time) can be found as the first entry, thus at the very bottom of the list. If there is no proposal question inside it, this means there is none or the tags are missing there.

Or do you mean something even more specialized?

The proposal question is part of that list

No, it isn't. The "star-wars" tag, for instance, isn't on the community proposal description for Video Games or Movies.

Seems you misunderstood, and think I'm talking about the community tag. That's another thing, but even if I was talking about that, it wouldn't work out as the list of incubator questions grows.

Ah I get you now. You are talking essentially about the same thing I was proposing on Meta with the Dashboard or having "Filter buttons" that show similar topics on all sites, so having a way to see posts to tags across sites.

The example you gave will not work if "star-wars" is used but not any other tag like "Movie-Literature" for example, of course.

Yeah, that is suboptimal, I agree.
