| Jun 19, 2018 at 16:15 | comment | added | Silverfish | @AndreSilva We generally dislike meta-tags and I do think the self-study tag is extremely poorly worded and poorly named, but then again, I do think it is sensible to deal differently with questions of the ilk Scortchi described. I might suggest renaming "self-study" as "bookwork", for a start... | |

Realised I'd the wrong word in my previous edit which changed its meaning.

(-1) I agree with @Scortchi that the self-study tag must not be abused for questions which are not exercise or bookwork.

| Jun 14, 2018 at 8:27 | comment | added | Scortchi Mod | (-1) I agree with the sentiments here but not with the proposed approach. The self-study tag is for exercises/bookwork - artificial problems for training. Other types of questions should be judged according simply to whether they're good or not. We already close questions that ask for code debugging, or are too broad. (I should add my own answer when I have time.) | |
