Do users properly use tags?

One thing that could help is making tagging mandatory (it’s a category-level setting) and creating some tags ahead of time so there are options to choose from.

I have a couple of categories in my community with mandatory tags. The form to create a post still says “optional tag” though.
Also, I’m requiring tags from a specific tag group. But when you click into the tags field during topic creation, you get suggestions for all kinds of tags. Members don’t necessarily know how to find one of the required tags.
I think it would be helpful to make the suggestions smarter or indicate tags that are in a (required) tag group.
