I'll give you a provisional answer, because Tim keeps track of this 
better than I. The official list includes:

[OT] Generally off-topic
[PD] Political Discussion
[NI] News item; mostly disused these days

Frankly, I've forgotten two others because they've not been needed in 
over a year. In moderator discussions, my impression is we tend to be 
flexible about creating new categories to address existing issues, and 
let old ones die when they are no longer needed. To my memory, you've 
only needed one such label in the past few months.

Bear in mind, "on-topic" is Bible, general faith issues untinged by 
politics, and just about any Open Source computer chatter, or plain 
hardware issues. However, just about any technology discussion will 
pass. Most of the time the [OT] label has been used for personal advice 
discussions, but we've been quite flexible on that. How do you draw a 
clear line between faith and seeking advice here?

Take this with a grain of salt, since there are three other moderators, 
plus the owner. It's no secret I'm currently the most active moderator 
for this list, but that's simply a matter of my having more free time. 
I'm hardly without flaws.
