Tag creation permissions (or: please create an education tag)

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 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 (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.
