Should we delete ? It doesn't seem to add value, what would even be the wiki and description for the tag, and for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/data is empty. For appropriate uses, we have .

For clarity: making a synonym for is not helpful because that will probably lead to many questions incorrectly being tagged with . is specific and is not about analytics, oracles, historical prices, and whatever other data people are interested in...

    Maybe data should just be synonym / merged with calldata. Deletion might be overshooting the target. :-)

  • @5chdn a lot of data doesn't fit calldata. What cases could we be concerned about? :)

It's not completely off the scale because data is a special keyword of the transaction object.

    calldata is exactly for this purpose. "msg.data (bytes): complete calldata"

  • As I said before, If there is no other fir than calldata, make it a synonym. If there is, leave the tag with a proper description.

  • @5chdn What do you think the description for "data" tag should be?
