Assigning tags to old topics

AI-generated summary

In a Support category thread titled “Assigning tags to old topics,” T_Disco requests help adding tags (e.g., review-queue, moderation, sidebar, composer) to several older topics they created, and asks whether there are site or trust-level settings limiting how long tags can be edited. Moin confirms the tags have been added and explains that users can edit topic tags as long as they have permission to edit the post — including members of groups listed in the edit all topic groups site setting. T_Disco follows up asking how long users can edit posts, to which Moin directs them to the Trust Level Permissions Reference, including a screenshot highlighting relevant permissions. The discussion clarifies that tag editing is not time-limited per se, but governed by user permissions and group settings.

Please can the additional tags listed below be assigned to these old topics that I created. Is this the right place to request this kind of change? If not, please point me in the right direction.

Are there site / trust level settings that determine how long before tags can no longer be assigned/unassigned to topics? If so please can you let me know what the names and values assigned to these settings are.

Many thanks.

You can edit them as long as you are allowed to edit the post. Furthermore, the groups specified in the edit all topic groups site setting are allowed to edit title, category, and tags of topics.

Thank you @Moin, how long are users able to edit posts for? Are there settings for that?

For such questions I look at the Trust Level Permissions Reference
