But.. how to I remove one (added by mistake to one of my posts)?
A list of all tags currently available would be useful. (rather than seeing what appears on the drop down list when doing a search for various letters).
I’d like a “health” tag (edited to add—I withdraw the request for a “health” tag)
and would use an “anatomy” tag (but that’d mostly be for me as far as I can see).
A heuristic the team has discussed is that tags should have 3 good post by at least two different authors. I do want some kind of wellbeing category, and a separate health one make sense too. Anatomy, if it isn’t a topic discussed by others, may or may not make sense. I’m not sure. If it’s to help people find your other writing (the main goal of tagging), you could create a sequence or two to link them.
Thanks for the full list of tags. I guess there’s been a couple of changes in the lists somewhere e.g. “practical techniques” not being added when selected.
The “world optimisation/modelling” and “well-being” ones aren’t on the list (page 2 somewhere??!)
To untag a post, just downvote its tag relevance
Cool. Done. A little unpleasant seeing red and and minus vote but it disappeared when I added a new tag, so all good. :)
“well-being” works for me (Christian’s point re-” health” tag is well taken so I withdraw that request).
I have a sequence, lost in the depths of LW …but since you bring it up: (cheeky smile)
As long as we have the COVID-19 situation, we might have too many posts that could be tagged “health” for that to be a useful tag. “Anatomy” however seems to be a good tag.
I’m inclined to treat COVID-19 posts as exception and not tag them with anything except Coronavirus, unless they’re also applicable more broadly and timelessly.
On StackExchange it’s a general custom to avoid tags that are too general. Skeptics.SE (a community where I spent a lot of time) for example has disallowed “health” as a tag.
Yes, broad terms like “health” are likely to lead to heavily overlapping tags and in general having more specific tags makes it easier for people to look for specific things.
I’m liking the tag idea!

Yeah, agree with need a better solution for showing currently available tags. In the meantime, you can look at www.lesswrong.com/tags or www.lesswrong.com/tags/all

An easy intro. to some key anatomy 5 main muscles made easy.

I think I understand the motivation behind that. They’re too easy to create and end up applying to too many different things? Does that seem right?
A challenge which stark in my mind is how to avoid creating too many heavily overlapping tags, which seems easy to do with higher-level tags.
Yes, broad terms like “health” are likely to lead to heavily overlapping tags and in general having more specific tags makes it easier for people to look for specific things.
Reading a bit back there’s also concern with tags being wrongly applied. In particular the discussion about the health tag has a meta post: https://skeptics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/reorganizing-the-medicine-and-health-tags
A good point that “health” is too generalised. I’ve updated my original request.
