My understanding of how the `disable tags edit notifications` setting is expected to work is that it should prevent notifications from being sent to users who are watching a tag if a topic is edited to add the watched tag. When I test this on my own site, it is not preventing edit notifications from being sent to users who are watching the tag that I edit into a topic.

It is possible I am misunderstanding what the setting’s intended use is. I’ll try to get some clarification about it and also see if a better description can be added to the site setting. The current description is “Disable tags edit notifications on topics.” That indicates to me that edit notifications should never be created when a topic’s tags are edited.
