The History tag is for posts that are strongly focused on historical events or trends which donāt 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 āHistoryā posts. But maybe thatās inaccurate or ok. You and other people can feel free to edit any descriptions on tags I made :)
Meta: This discussion makes me realise itās possible itād be valuable to have some equivalent of Wikipediaās ātalkā pages for tags. (But maybe thatād take more work than itās worth.)
ETA: I now think youāre right about the History tag, and have adjusted the description accordingly.
I feel like itās fine for them to overlap.

I expect thatās on LWās roadmap.
