Tags (i.e., edit tags) are brief messages that the software automatically places next to certain edits in histories, recent changes and other special pages. The list of tags is at Special:Tags. , they come from the Edit Filter, VisualEditor, the mobile site, and GettingStarted. However, this list may not be complete. Edit filter editors can direct an edit filter to tag edits matching the filter.

Edits may be filtered by entering a tag in the Special:Contributions or Special:RecentChanges Tag window. , the most common tag is [//www.techinfodepot.info/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=references%20removed references removed] (from filter 61); then [//www.techinfodepot.info/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=Section%20blanking section blanking] (from filter 172), closely followed by [//www.techinfodepot.info/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=repeating%20characters repeating characters] (from filter 135).

Use and formatting
Tags should not be overly specific; instead the log should be directly used for review of edits.

For each tag, the respective appearance and description system messages can be accessed from Special:Tags. They should be created in the usual format, using a Tags: prefix for appearances and the template for descriptions, with the abuse filter(s) generating the tag specified.

Tags should generally not be renamed from the edit filter interface when they have already been applied to edits, as this would create a new tag. So make sure to use the correct name from the start, or change the tag description itself. Currently, there's no way to delete or reassign tags.
