Should hackspaces have their own tags?

Question

As a follow-up to this question:

Should we allow hackspaces to have their own tags?

I think this is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure about how well it would fit into the SE format, or if it would be accepted/appreciated by the wider community.

Some Pros:

• People can follow their local hackspace and easily see questions from people in their own local community, get involved helping out with projects, etc.
• It can help existing communities cooperate with the wider global community while retaining some identity and thus extending their community spirit outwards
• It encourages a great open/sharing mindset within the Engineering.SE community

Some Cons:

• Other organisations such as large engineering corporations may want/expect their own tags, or users may assume this is ok and create them
• Such tags wouldn't be about any specific engineering subject so may confuse some users
• It may be difficult to name them clearly and consistently because hackspaces tend to create their own identity rather than following a consistent naming convention

I would love to hear people's thoughts on this.

Answer 1

No.

Organizations do not get tags. They are meta-tags and should be burned with prejudice:

From this point on, meta-tagging is explicitly discouraged.

How can you tell you’re using a meta-tag? It’s easier than you might think.

1. If the tag can’t work as the only tag on a question, it’s probably a meta-tag. Every tag you use should be able to work, more or less, as the only tag on a question. Meta-tags, like [beginner], [subjective], and [best-practices], are useless by themselves — they tell you nothing at all about the content of the question.
