When selecting sidebar tags, only 10 appear in the dropdown menu on my forum (and 5 on meta). It would be good if there were a way to be presented with **all tags** and select from the complete list. Maybe:

1. Increase the dropdown maximum from 10 to something like 100 (though many sites would still have too many to include a dropdown).

2. How about changing the `/tags` page with an “add to sidebar” icon beside each tag listed there?
