About Tags
One of the fastest, easiest, and most powerful ways to organize content is to use tags.
Tags are short, descriptive words or phrases that classify and organize wiki pages, blog
posts, or mailing list entries.
There are two types of tags: content tags and meta-information tags.
Content tags describe what a page is about. For example, if you have a department Â
wiki where everyone has a page describing himself or herself, those pages should
be tagged with “bio.” If you do a tag-based search for “bio,” you’d find all bio pages
for everyone in the department. Similarly, if you had a project named “ProjectX,”
you could tag all pages about ProjectX with the “ProjectX” tag.
Meta-information tags describe the page itself. For example, you could mark all
Â
important pages with “hot” and all pages that require review with “review.” This way
you can quickly find pages that are important or require review.
