When to use the TV-Shows Tag, a learning guide

Question

When should I use the tv-shows tag?

Answer 1

The tv-shows tag should only be used when referring to the creation or editing of tv-shows in a general sense and should not be used when talking about a specific show.

For example:

If your question is Why are there credits at the end of TV shows even though only Unicorns read them?

• This question is about TV-Shows in a general sense, go ahead and use the tv-shows tag.

But if your question is Why did Dexter shoot the pony instead of stab the unicorn?

• This question is about a specific show: Dexter which is a TV show, but does not apply to ALL TV Shows, tag it with dexter
