Tag explanation - feature request

For one of the forums I’m administering, it would also be useful for tags to have tag descriptions (which, in my mind would be available as a tool tip on mouser-over on desktop) because we have a tag for each command that the program takes via the CLI, such as set. Since it is not immediately obvious why a post would be tagged #set, it would be nice if people could find out.

Having said that my preference would be a fully fledged description field for each tag, here is an idea that might work at least in our case: all CLI commands are in the same tag group called “CLI commands” or so. If each tag group had an option

[ ] prepend tags from this group with _______

So if I’d enter “command” as a prepend string, the #set tag would be displayed as “command:set”

:thinking: Ah, well, no. It’s probably a lot better with a simple description field.

Just for completeness: another good use case for tag descriptions that can include links is as a place to point out to anonymous visitors that they can subscribe to the tag by RSS (in case they don’t want to sign up just yet …).

Technically RSS for tags works just fine (example), but without a place to point out that feature, users will hardly find it. Except for those with an RSS browser extension.

We do this with category descriptions and would love to do the same with tag-pages. For example, the Web Dev Teams will often need to access our Github, so adding:

Team Name
Tools: Github - Pictures of Happy Dogs - New Build Wireframe

Gives them a smoother experience

I would love to see tag descriptions as well. A combination of the description below the tag in /tags along with the description on the tag’s page as Dave posted above would be perfect. We use a few obscure tags that make sense to existing users, but new users struggle to understand. If I were to make the tag long enough to understand it would be unruly in the UI, but if I leave it the way it is, it ends up leading to time wasting questions about what the tag is for.

That just adds a banner, not a description. There is this component to add a tag description, but it’s a little painful to use if you want descriptions for a lot of tags, and I would prefer to have the description up top rather than on the side because it breaks the Topic List Preview plugin.

There are no plans for this, as tags are meant to be lightweight.

我也在“信息”按钮里寻找这样的字段。至少对于某些比较通用的标签名称，添加一条工作人员备注会很有帮助。

我目前使用这个组件来实现该功能：Discourse Tag Sidebars
不过，我很希望能将其纳入核心功能中。

你好，我在搜索如何为标签下的“信息”按钮添加描述字段时，也发现了这个帖子。我赞同上面提出的概念，即在置顶主题帖子或类似位置添加标签描述。这样能以可搜索的方式提供额外上下文……如果能将描述添加或置顶到一组标签上就更好了……特别是对于浏览 /tags/ 或类似页面的人来说。

编辑：在哪里可以重写这段文字：此标签未限制于任何分类，也没有同义词。

再次支持在标签内置顶话题的功能，这不仅可以用于标签描述，还能用于其他用途。就我的具体使用场景而言，我们采用了一种较为宽泛、简单的分类结构来讨论各种应用及技术/系统。因此，我们设有“应用”、“方法”、“闲聊”、“反馈”等分类，并利用标签来处理可能多达上百种的应用、方法、系统等内容。但最近我们意识到，如果能将每个应用的最佳资源汇总到一个显眼的、按应用单独展示的位置，那将非常理想。目前，我们无法通过标签轻松实现这一点（例如置顶一个“最佳资源”话题），因此要么不得不创建大量分类，要么只能接受资源话题难以被发现的现状，让用户自行搜索。或者，我们或许可以手动不断置顶，但这会导致资源话题频繁占据最新话题列表，显然不可行。

综上所述，强烈支持在标签中置顶话题！

标签描述现已列入计划：

不过，据我所知，“在标签内置顶主题”并不属于此次更新范围。待标签描述功能上线后，我们应为此单独创建一个主题来讨论该功能。

为了结束这个话题，标签描述已作为一项功能在 2021 年末添加！
