DO NOT USE IT AS A SYNONYM OF TYPES. Use for questions on typings, a package for managing TypeScript definitions. It uses typings.json, which can resolve to the Typings Registry, GitHub, NPM, Bower, HTTP, and local files. The package is now deprecated.
Usage guidance
Use for questions about the now deprecated typings package.
Do not use as a synonym of "types", use typescript-types or types instead. If your question is about type definitions, use typescript-definitions instead. Also consider using more specific tags like typescript-generics depending on the topic of the question.
If your question concerns the project that replaced typings, use definitelytyped instead.
