user24: Currently, 7 questions are tagged as plot, which is the 3rd most on the site (behind Naruto and Manga). I'm worried that it seems like a very large portion of questions could have something to do with the plot. I also can't imagine that the tag would be useful for very many people. Perhaps a few odd people who are trying to avoid any kind of spoilers would ignore it, but that seems about it from my perspective.
Does the tag plot serve any useful purpose, or is it a meta tag? If it is useful, what criteria should be applied when judging whether or not to use it? Does the question need to be about a central plot element, or is asking about anything related to the plot good enough to use the tag (presumably this will eventually go in the tag wiki)?

user15: Agree, let's use:

plot-explanation for questions about the plot. We can use the same tag wiki Movies SE does.
plot-inconsistency for plot holes and the like. Same from Movies SE.


user118: In theory, most questions on here will be about plot. I think it will be noise we don't need. It also doesn't serve to describe what the question is about any better. So, while I don't think it is necessarily meta, I think it is unnecessary.
