Hi,  
Is there a place where I can add a large list of tags (as an admin).  
Thanks

…to what? Tags are dynamic, so there’s generally no need to “add them” until they’re actually used.

At the start there are zero tags, so I would like to add a set of tags to the tag pool of the system.

Ah, gotcha. The easiest way to do that is to create topics in the staff category and add tags to them. The default limit is 5 tags per topic, so you’ll either need to raise the limit or make multiple topics.

You can manage tag groups at `/tag_groups` which allows you to add tags without the limits.
