Use this tag when examining what is on-topic or off-topic, and why, and how to deal with off-topic questions.
on-topic (or scope) is used to define what is pertinent to discussion. Generally, the scope determines what the site is about. Issues arising from on-topic might have to do with whether a certain question is on-topic or not, but also can be used to evaluate whether an entire topic should be up for discussion.
