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.

Tag collision between proposals
If/when we accumulate many proposals, I think we might run into an issue with tags colliding.
For example, suppose someone adds the base tag to Video Games ask about base building in strategy games. Then, someone creates a Chemistry proposal, and uses the base tag for questions about solutions with high potential concentrations of hydroxide.
These two tags have nothing to do with each other and only coincidentally share a name. But if questions from either proposal are tagged base, it will group unrelated questions together.
This will might be even worse if the proposal, say Video Games, is accepted. Presumably all the Video Games questions and tags would be migrated from the incubator to the new video-games.codidact.com. But then the tags would disappear from the incubator, and what happens to the Chemistry questions tagged base, which are still in the incubator?
What is the plan for dealing with this situation?
