Change the [conditional-formatting] tag to not only be about Google Spreadsheets

Question

I've just asked a question about conditional formatting in Microsoft Office Online. I added the conditional-formatting tag but then saw that it apparently only relates to Google Spreadsheets.

Is that right?

Answer 1

Back in the dim past when that tag was created, the only web-based spreadsheet app of any note was Google Spreadsheets.

Now that there are others and they're gaining popularity, it probably makes sense to "de-couple" conditional-formatting from Google Sheets.

We would probably prefer a tag specific to the app, but both [excel-online-conditional-formatting] and [google-spreadsheets-conditional-formatting] are far too long.

We have formulas, which is generically for formulas in online spreadsheet apps. It makes sense to me to do the same for conditional-formatting.

Answer 2

Tag excerpts and wiki tags are created and edited by the community, so rather than a bug it's about the result of the Web Applications' community contributions.

According to the following search, at this time there is only one question include conditional-formatting and excel-online for a question that doesn't include google-spreadsheets:

[conditional-formatting] -[google-spreadsheets] excel is:question

By the other hand there are 74 questions that have conditional-formatting and [google-spreadsheets]
