AFAIK unless I missed the memo, we only have one special subject header;
"OT:".
If we want to reclassify or maybe just classify we should discuss. 5G is
what I would consider on-topic (an unfortunate turn for English that both
on and off begin with o; maybe we should use the last letters FC for ofF
topiC, and NC for oN topiC).
Nonetheless we do go down wormholes with alarming frequency. More
sub-categories of off topic might be appropriate. However, when I'm slammed
for time, I just ignore the OT: subjects until some other time.
