That’s exactly what I want to do too.

## Where are tags in the database?

I’ve poked in [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) and can’t find “tag” in it anywhere. [badge-query-request-received-x-likes-in-topic-containing-specific-tag](https://meta.discourse.org/t/badge-query-request-received-x-likes-in-topic-containing-specific-tag/27901) asks the same question, but the answer worked another way.

## Why badges for tags?

Others say that badges for posting is ripe for abuse, but I have students create a topic with a certain tag to indicate that they have completed an assignment. I want to create a badge so that they can see that they have “turned in” the work, and then another to indicate that it was “good” (presumably with a “like” until I get a you-did-it-right plugin written).
