AI-generated summary
Users are requesting a feature to remove specific selected tags using bulk actions, noting that the current system only allows removing all tags or replacing all tags with a single one. twofoursixeight highlights the difficulty in organizing the forum without the ability to remove a tag from only certain posts. JammyDodger and Jagster support the idea, citing personal needs for this functionality. Angelo emphasizes that this is a crucial function, especially for managing thousands of topics, as the lack of granular tag replacement makes bulk editing nearly impossible. jrgong agrees, explaining that their forum uses tags extensively for product directory structure and often needs to replace tags with categories, a process that would be significantly easier with this feature. Moin links to a related discussion on meta regarding better bulk tag management Better Bulk Tag Management.
I would like this to be a feature because there is no way to remove only one kind of tag, and the closest option is remove all tags, but that is not a viable option. This would make organizing the forum easier. You can also choose to delete the tag itself, but what if you wanted to only remove that tag from certain posts? This is why I would like this to be a feature.

I’ve fallen foul of this a couple of times. I think it would make a good addition.

Same here. Needed more than once. So, +1 for this request.

Crucial function!
Especially since there’s also no way to replace just one tag, you can only replace all tags with a single tag. It makes bulk topic editing nearly impossible.
I have thousands of topics to sort through. Please implement either of these possibilities!

I agree here.
I was actually surprised that this doesn’t exist yet; it would be really handy. We use tags a lot to give our product directories inside our forum a bit of structure. And sometimes when we basically create a category out of what used to be a tag before, here it would be definitely handy.
