## Titles should be complete summaries of the question. ## Here's the easy rule: **Cover the tags, and ask yourself if the title conveys enough information. It needs to**. That means two things: - Information in a tag *in no way* makes it less necessary in a title. * But tags need not be added to a title when they're *not* needed to convey key information Tags are for filtering, not for completing otherwise incomplete titles.
