I have create a placeholder question, but just noticed that all the other ones have "(placeholder)", "[PLACEHOLDER]" or some variant in the title.
Do I need to include it in the title if it's tagged?

Brock Adams said so... although in my opinion, no - what's the point of the tag existing then?ᔕᖺᘎᕊ– ᔕᖺᘎᕊ2015-06-23 18:23:27 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2015 at 18:23

1@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ, Title practice came first. Tag was added later. Use of both is debatable (See answer and comments below). IMO, use both. But if you use only one, it should be the tag.Brock Adams– Brock Adams2015-06-23 19:56:10 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2015 at 19:56

There's no real expectation set for this, feel free to pick whichever option seems better to you.
I personally feel the tag is sufficient, but I could see how having it in the title might save some people some disappointment. My hope is that people will just finish their app and it won't matter much either way, so I'm not particularly concerned.

IIRC, The title verbiage was the custom for a few weeks before the tag was created. Tags in titles are officially frowned on, but placeholder (IE, "currently unusable") is such a crucial aspect of a post that a useful title practically requires it. :)Brock Adams– Brock Adams2015-06-23 19:53:12 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2015 at 19:53

3Yeah, we just need a better system anyway, because the way it works now is silly. :(2015-06-23 19:54:29 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2015 at 19:54
