474 | Tag Rename: lcdscreen -> lcd-screen
to make reading tags easier, I propose to swap lcdscreen to lcd-screen, in line with x-axis and others.
Makes sense to me. @0scar should be able to easily make the change, if he wants to.
For better readability, the tag has been updated to include a hyphen: lcd-screen.

Stack Exchange
Description
StackExchange is a collection of Q&A communities spanning a wide variety of topics.
While StackExchange formerly provided structured dumps of all of their content, since July of 2024, StackExchange has stopped publishing XML dumps to the Internet Archive.
Instead, each site can provide a logged in user with a custom url to download the dump for that site.
This means that dumps for defunct sites like windowsphone.stackexchange.com are inaccessible.
Additionally, in dumps produced by the new export tool, many questions that are available in past dumps (and accessible on the site) are not present.
For this reason, we extract all questions and answers from community uploaded dumps from December of 2024 from the internet archive and additionally extract missing questions and answers from the last official dumps in July of 2024 to account for the deficiencies listed above.
We use a question, its comments, its answers and the comments on each answer as a single document.
Following the display order on StackExchange, answers are ordered by the number of votes they received, with the exception that the “accepted answer” always appears first.
PyMarkdown was used to convert each comment into plain text.
Per-document license information is available in the license entry of the metadata field of each example.
Code for collecting, processing, and preparing this dataset is available in the common-pile GitHub repo.

License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see our paper). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please start a discussion on this repository.
