There are currently two different tags that refer to the exact same technology.

- 37 questions

- 8 questions

Both tags also have the same description:


Although there is no official variant of DMX512-A (E1.11 - 2008, USITT DMX512-A) it would make sense to merge any questions from [dmx512] to the more general [dmx] tag and remove the [dmx512] tag to avoid fragmented questions across both tags and the need for users to include both tags in their question.

It would be simple to manually edit the 8 questions in [dmx512] but i furged this is a question for the meta.

  • Having been through all of the questions now it might make more sense to keep [dmx512] for the lighting protocol and use [dmx] for Data Mining Expressions (the MSQL protocol) edit: Disregard [dmx-ssas] exists. it just seems the auto tagger is mis tagging. – hoss May 15 '15 at 17:36
  • I couldn't find any data mining questions like you refer to. So I think we don't need to consider that until it shows up. DMX512 seems to be the base name for that technology, so I say we merge everything to that. Let DMX die, it can come back later if it is needed. – JasonMArcher May 16 '15 at 21:24
  • DMX512 is called DMX colloquially, but either tag would work. I guess my only question is if someone creates a new question about DMX would both tags be suggested? – hoss May 16 '15 at 22:45

I have merged all the DMX questions into . All but one were about that standard. There was one question about data mining and it turns out we already have a tag, .

  • Thanks, I will add the dmx-ssas tags back to the questions I removed [dmx] from – hoss May 21 '15 at 13:24
