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.

The note(s) could possibly be displayed above the buttons: Approve Post etc. and include the date, time and author of the note. This could be used when there has been activity outside of Discourse related to the post i.e. ‘emailed x to ask for their opinion’, …

Would ‘What would you like to do with this draft?’ and the text on the ‘Discard’ button, being changed to ‘Discard draft’ be clearer in this instance? I always catch myself doing a double take at this slight_smile

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.

For such questions I look at the [Trust Level Permissions Reference](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-permissions-reference/224824?silent=true)
