So it might pop up a question for the wrong game without the name of the game in the title. Additionally, Stack Exchange has a widget for Android phones, and the tags are not displayed there either, which means that a person may see a question which they think they can answer, and open the app through the widget, just to discover that the question was for a game which they know nothing about. | |

While some degree of duplication is good, people just coming and asking question without checking if they have been asked is bad. So your argument is more or less invalid. I still agree that tags should be displayed in that related popup though. | |

| Aug 12, 2010 at 13:37 | comment | added | DavRob60 | It look like there already a request for that. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2031/… We should vote it up. | |
| Aug 12, 2010 at 13:02 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | @Dav I recommend making a feature request, I find that an idea I can get behind when it comes to the list generated when asking a question, maybe in the tooltip when you hover over an option. Not so much the list in the right sidebar. Where to request it, though... I find that it is more beneficial to this site than any other. I don't see it being nearly as useful on, say, Server Fault or Cooking. It's a tough call, but I think you could ask it either here or on Meta SO. | |
| Aug 12, 2010 at 12:58 | comment | added | DavRob60 | The fact "there's no way of seeing the related question's tags" is an issue. Don't you think we should request this feature? By the way, how could we do that? On meta.stackoverflow.com? | |
| Aug 12, 2010 at 12:45 | comment | added | Aubergine | @Grace - Ah, I was just getting the impression that not relying solely on the tags is generally frowned upon. | |
| Aug 12, 2010 at 12:03 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | So I don't say that people shouldn't add game names to the titles. I'm saying we shouldn't require adding it to the title. | |
| Aug 12, 2010 at 12:02 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | If the title makes it too ambiguous that it would be difficult to address what game is being discussed, then it makes perfect sense to add the title. For example, dual wielding is common and different in a lot of games so it makes sense for this question. Whereas, some questions can be pretty fine without a title, like this one. | |
