Question Add [windows-11] as a child of [windows] and add tag usage guidance

Question Tags page shows [microsoft-excel] x 7 but clicking on this tag shows no questions
Clicking on Tags, among other tags, I see `[microsoft-excel] x 7`, but clicking on `[microsoft-excel]`, I don't see any questions. What does that number seven next to `[microsoft-excel]` mean on the Tags page?

Comment Post #288002 Needs more details. Besides showing the snapshot, briefly describe your understanding of the feature, how it was called, and the options are chosen; specify what version of Word (edition and platform) you are using. The snapshot shows "paragraphs", but the selection is not a set of paragraphs.

Comment Post #288492 This post doesn't look like what I understand as a "question"; instead, it looks like a recommendation request with unclear / incomplete requirements, and it's unclear how this might be helpful to other users than the author.
