This feature is now available via:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5730/files](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5730/files)

Note that the “minimum tag validation” on a category will _not_ happen if:

- tagging is disabled globally
- acting user is staff
- acting user does not have sufficient trust level to use/add tags

The option to enforce tagging is available per category. If the tagging is enabled, the setting `Minimum number of tags required in a topic` will appear under “Edit Category” modal =\> “Settings” tab. The setting value defaults to `0`.
