Can we standardize the Microsoft tags?

Question

Last week there was a Meta discussion asking whether questions about Microsoft Word online were on-topic.

Are questions about Microsoft Word Online on-topic here? I don't really see any posted here, but perhaps I am not searching correctly.

Yes, they are. We even have a specific tag: word-online.

Not many questions, granted. I suspect some of them are incorrectly tagged with microsoft-word which, as "installable software" is off-topic here.

When a similar issue was discussed on Super User a few years back, they decided to prepend all microsoft product tags with microsoft-. I think this would be a good idea here as well.

• It makes the tag easier to find
• Makes finding microsoft-related questions easy by searching microsoft*
• Consistent with Google's product tags (google-drive, google-spreadsheets, etc.)
• Matches Microsoft's official naming scheme

To prevent future confusion Microsoft's online Office apps should include the Microsoft name.

Suggested retags:

• office-online → microsoft-office-online
• word-online → microsoft-word-online
• excel-online → microsoft-excel-online

Edit: If the 25 character limit is a concern, an alternative would be to add the Microsoft tags as synonyms

Answer 1

A terrible idea and synonyms would not work for this. The most I would contemplate is a solution that has been applied on Stack Overflow where I wanted to address a similar issue and google-spreadsheets-conditional-formatting exceeded the character limit. So now gs-conditional-formatting is in use there, following the precedent set by @Mogsdad with gs-vlookup.

So possibly m$-excel-online but pointless given that Excel is a Microsoft Corporation trade mark.
