As I daily admire the cohesion and transparency of the SCN tags... err, I mean bang my head on the desk (do we need an Idea for strike-through font?), I imagine how the SCN tag list compilation meeting might have transpired at the SAP headquarters.
Team A:
We need these 2 tags for our products.
Team B: We really have 1 product but it runs on 5 different platforms, so we
want 5 tags!
Team A: Hey, if they are doing that then we also want 2 * 5 = 10 tags!
Team C: We take your 10 and raise you 30 tags! And we also want the names that
no one but us will recognize.
Teams A: Hey, we also want that!
Team B [jumps on the desk]: Don't give them anything!!! Limit 5 tags per team!!!! And our team is more important!!!

The Support Launchpad
team:"Just be quiet and maybe they will forget about the
Support tag"
Just some sample from my area of experience:
Under parent tag: SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation
We have:
Actually only 2 are used:
And the first tag has to be changed to 2 different tags:
Standard and embedded versions are absolutely different!
This is just ridiculous!
Where is the eye rolling emoji?
Here it is:

guten tag !
Jelena, how have you managed to sneak into the SAP global marketing meeting?
This just sounds too implausible to be made up/fiction. Hmmmm someone sounds strangely like an insider. Perhaps a double agent.
He-he, I guess when you've been in the SAP world long enough you just know how these things go.
Just found out we actually have the tag called "SAP ERP". There are currently 111 questions with this tag.
What purpose does it serve? This poor guy correctly used the tag for "SAP enhancement package" but good luck getting any answers there vs. Basis or ABAP forum.
And why do we need separate primary tags for localizations of "SAP ERP add-on for oil and gas" (is it what everyone knows as IS-OIL?). Is there a thriving community of the SCN members writing about the oil and gas add-on challenges specific to China? Could they not share a tag with other countries? #facepalmslap
Basis forum? What is this basis forum you speak of? Oh, would that be the NetWeaver forum? Hmm, let's see, is that:
The Knowledge Acceleration team was quite successful - they got 33 tags
Now they can be proud of the most active WEBI tag in the Community - sadly that not a single question out of a 100+ (which got posted in the 18 of 33 tags that have been used till now) had anything to do with the Knowledge Acceleration product.
Maybe they can make a new KA product about tags and what they are meant for
Yeah, now whoever asked for all those tags should also be tasked with filling them all with some unique content. Get us some of that sweet knowledge...
Hey, if they are doing that then we also want 2 * 5 = 10 tags!
... correction
2^10
I wonder if these tags are all the possible items on a BOM for SAP Sales to sell solutions, products or licenses?
