Is there an option to enforce the users to select tags in order to write a new post? Currently, it is optional. However, we need this functionality.

Hello and welcome @TrueG :slight_smile: You can find that particular option on the Settings tab: [Untitled]

You can require tags at the category level. Go to the category settings and find Minimum number of tags required in a topic. There is also an entire section for Tags in the category settings for more detailed rquirements.

Perfect! Thak you for the help :slight_smile:

We had a look at this and we thought that it was a little counter-intuitive to have that one tag setting not on the Tags tab so have moved it over. :partying_face: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/19789 From now on you can find that setting here: :+1: [minimum number of tags required in a topic]

Thanks for the comment!
However, it seems that there is no such option "minimum number of tags required in a topic" on our dashboard. Do we have to ask Discourse to enable the option?
