/help/tags
Tags
The catalog of topic labels. A tag page lists everything you can see that uses that tag.
The rail
- Letters jump to tags whose display name starts with that letter. The asterisk is all letters.
- Dice draws a random tag (the /tags landing). Clock lists the whole catalog. Kind glyphs filter by blog, quotes, polls, sources, or media — on the landing and on a tag page. The asterisk is all kinds.
- Counts are items you can actually see. Empty tags (count 0) stay hidden unless Show empty tags is on in Tags settings (gear beside help). Signed-in members can request a tag at the bottom of the rail; hub mints it from Taxonomy.
The list
- Items are grouped by kind. Sort with the boxed control: date, alphabetical, or user. Click the active mode again to reverse (ascending/descending).
- Date mode shows each item’s created time in your timezone (Settings). User mode shows the creator. Alphabetical mode is title-only.
- Visibility labels appear only for hub admins and kind mods.
