Should we have a migration path to Software Recs for game recommendation questions?
No, for the same reasons we don't migrate to GameDev.
SoftwareRecs' policy on games is extremely strict. Game questions there must solve problems- not alleviate boredom and not solve a particular ...

Shouldn't [hogwarts-legacy] be renamed to [harry-potter-hogwarts-legacy] and/or a synonym be created?
We title our tags based on the game's official name. The official name of the game is "Hogwarts Legacy", without the Harry Potter specification, so we don't mention Harry Potter in the title ...

Can I find out why a user got deleted?
@Frank is right. We don't release information on why a user was deleted, so you're just going to need to remain in the dark about it.

Could we get the Documentation feature for Arqade?
Unfortunately, No.
Documentation was discontinued back in 2017 and the service shut down, thus any chance of porting it over here died with it.

Make searching easier by renaming [little-big-planet] → [littlebigplanet]
I don't see a need for this. As Kaizerwolf stated, other games have words from their titles broken up. Pretty much all of our tags have titles broken up whether they have spaces in them or not. If I ...

Should we rename [obs] → [open-broadcaster-software]?
Keep it as OBS
I've never heard someone refer to OBS as anything other than OBS. Calling it "Open Broadcaster Software" sounds needlessly corporate. It would not surprise me if a significant ...

Should we make an [io-game] or [internet-broswer-game] tag?
No. We answer questions that are specific to each game. There's no need for internet-browser-game because it doesn't offer anything of value.
If it's a new game, use the closest tag possible. ...

Create a chat room for the posts that don't fit the Q & A guidelines
No. We don't create sites for the things SE doesn't take. That's essentially a dump site, and doomed to fail. Nobody will stick around there, and it just leads to a completely dead site.
