Should we have separate tag for exception or error which could indicate the posts dealing with the errors? Which can ask how to deal with or debug specific exceptions/errors?

The usual guidelines about tags suggest to use tags that:
- don't say anything about the user who is asking the question
- describe a specific area of expertise
For example, beginner is a tag that describes the user who asks the question, not the question itself. error doesn't describe a specific area of Drupal expertise. Differently, views describes a specific area of expertise, in the same way cck does.
Keep in mind that not everything in a question needs to be captured with a tag; tags are for the most important parts of the question. Considering there is a limit of 5 tags per question, we need to limit the tags to those that are really helpful, which don't apply to 50/60% of the questions (or more), but not even to very few questions.
Issues found in existing modules are defined as off-topic. If all you have is an exception or error message, you shouldn't posting here. Module's issue queue is right place for such posts.
Tags for off-topic questions serves no real purpose, so should not be created.
