The History tag is for posts that are strongly focused on historical events or trends which donât necessarily connect to other tags (e.g., a post on the history of nuclear weapons should go in that tag instead), or that discuss or make heavy use of historical research methods.
Either way seems ok to me. My thinking was that, if overlap was allowed, a large portion of all posts could be seen as âHistoryâ posts. But maybe thatâs inaccurate or ok. You and other people can feel free to edit any descriptions on tags I made :)
Meta: This discussion makes me realise itâs possible itâd be valuable to have some equivalent of Wikipediaâs âtalkâ pages for tags. (But maybe thatâd take more work than itâs worth.)
ETA: I now think youâre right about the History tag, and have adjusted the description accordingly.
I feel like itâs fine for them to overlap.

I expect thatâs on LWâs roadmap.
