user132: Stack Exchange has a network wide feature which allows clear instructions on how to ask a question to be displayed for certain 'problem' tags. The full details about the feature can be found here.
I would like to propose we use this feature for identification questions.
Approximately 7% of questions posted on LEGO Answers are identification questions. A lot of the users who ask these questions tend be new to Stack Exchange. The only way they can find out how to ask a good identification question is to visit the tag wiki page which is buried away in the tag database.
With the 'how-to-ask' feature implemented for the identification tag, users who use the tag will have a prompt similar to the one shown in the mockup below.
 
Should we implement this system for identification questions?
If a 'how-to-ask' tip is provided for identifcation questions, what tips should be provided?
Are there any other tags that would benefit from this feature?

user132: How does this sound?

Identification questions get better answers if they...

Provide detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the part (color, theme, connections, etc...)
Have picture and/or illustrations
Include details about when and where they were found



user3631: 
Should we implement this system for identification questions?

Oh, yes!

If a 'how-to-ask' tip is provided for identifcation questions, what tips should be provided?

The second and third in the example picture seem to be good, pictures (or maybe even drawings, sketches) would be quite appreciated. I don't think the first one would help a lot, it is very subjective and vague, but I'd add a couple more:

What kind of connections does the piece have? (Studs, Technic, other)
What is the overall color, theme or style of the set? (By style I mean System or Technic)


Are there any other tags that would benefit from this feature?

Mindstorms questions seem to be the ones that would benefit a lot from some generic tips on error messages, but in this regard I can't offer any concrete and up to date advice.

user132: In regards to the identification tag being replaced with various other more specific tags I would like to suggest the following changes:

part-identification

Part identification questions get better answers if they...

Provide detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the part
Include clear photos of the part of parts
Include details about when and where they were found



set-identification

Set identification questions get better answers if they...

Provide detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the set
Include clear photos of the set
Include details about when and where they were found



minifigure-identification

Minifigure identification questions get better answers if they...

Provide detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the minifigure
Include clear photos of the minifigure
Include details about when and where they were found



sticker-identification

Sticker identification questions get better answers if they...

Provide detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the stickers
Include clear photos of the stickers or sticker sheet
Include details about when and where they were found



There is also the model-identification which is rarely used but I am not sure if it is necessary. It does sometimes get confused with the set-identification tag which is quite similar but has a different usage.
