whenever you guys see a "Use a more specific tag if applicable" in a tag wiki/excerpt, how do you interpret it?

Sam

@Braiam I'd look for a more specific tag if applicable

Braiam

@Sam and what about the tag that says that message, would you use it if you found the one that is more applicable?

Jan Dvorak

@Braiam I wouldn't
