I’m especially interested in how Discourse can support learning and schools. I thought that I might start tagging education related posts (like [this one](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-customize-registration-form-or-at-least-email-format/41193/2) with an education tag, but found out that I’m not worthy. Any interest in an education tag?
(In other news, I am pleased to learn that there is a `min trust to create tag` setting and went and upped it on my site. Now to clean out those bogus tags that shouldn’t have been created.)

@pfaffman, for reference, tag creation TL discussion happened a few months ago in the [lounge](https://meta.discourse.org/t/limit-tagging-to-tl3-and-tag-creation-to-tl4/37736) (note, that link is for TL3 users and up only, all others will fail).

The basic rule for tagging on Meta is that we’ll only use it if:
- The tag stands a very good chance of being “promoted” to a category if it sees enough use.
- The tag is essentially used as a sort of post type, like our “planned” tag to denote features that are on our roadmap.

I had seen some of the tagging discussion, but missed some because I didn’t have access to #lounge when it happened (thanks for the link, @jomaxro) . I noticed that tags “went away” at some point, and then “came back” (when I went to TL3). I’m still interested in building a Discourse education community, but agree that it’s too soon for an education tag/category at this point.
Thanks for the explanations.
