Your example is correct. Until the tag is used on a topic (could be a topic in #Staff that no one can see) it will not appear in the tag chooser dropdown. Also, keep in mind that staff tags aren’t “hidden”, anyone can see them, it’s just their usage that is restricted to staff. If your goal is to hide tags, see [Set tags as private - #13 by neil](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-tags-as-private/80036/13).
