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.

For sample questions I asked, I elected to avoid the question in the title. My reasoning:

* It is redundant because the tag is already there
* If you clicked on the tag, you would get a list of questions with much repetition, which is aesthetically not nice
* On Software Development, we don't put the language name in titles, the tag is enough
* Sometimes Video Game questions get shown out of context (in the hot questions), and it sounds like they're not about video games because it's not obvious, which I find humorous

I don't consider the above a definitive argument. But my personal preference is no in title, only in tags.

If there is no tag for that game, and the user cannot create it, obviously it should be in the title.
