Rename tag [paperwork] and create new tag for "organizing/structuring" files, papers etc

Question

This is a follow-up to: Is the paperwork tag really necessary?

After removing the tag paperwork from questions where the tag was misused I had a look at the remaing questions and other questions as well.

I suggest the follwing: change the name of the tag from paperwork to bureaucracy as that lies at the heart of said paperwork, also there are several other questions not previously in the paperwork where such a tag would fit well. Of course the wiki entry would have to be slightly changed as well.

On top of that, I noticed there are quite of few questions about structuring and organizing files, paper, bibliography etc. that do not really have a good tag that fits. I propose to create a new tag for that but I am unable to find a suitable, succinct phrase for such a tag as "organizing" doesn't really fit 100%. What do you think of this proposal?

Answer 1

I don't really see a need for a bureaucracy tag, so I'd suggest just getting rid of the last instances of paperwork. While, as Dr. Leonard McCoy said, "the bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe", it takes different forms in different contexts and places. As such, tags such as administration and ones based on the type of job or location seem more appropriate in most cases. Admittedly, this question might be an exception. Arguably, there are also some questions about record keeping that might qualify as paperwork but not necessarily bureaucracy: example.

Answer 2

I would be inclined to just redefine the paperwork description such that it covers both:

• organizing physical and digital papers
• dealing with bureaucracy (defined here to mean low-level administrative tasks like filling out forms and getting approvals signed).

The latter has some overlap with administration, but not too much I think.
