Tag Wikis
What are tag wikis?
A tag wiki is a detailed introduction to the topic, ideally about one page long, suitable as a destination for those curious about it. It may contain, among other things, information about what questions should have this tag, some basic definitions, a brief introduction to the subject, and important links for learning more.
When should I edit a tag wiki?
Any time you feel the community around that tag could benefit from an editor's steady hand.
How do I edit the tag wiki?
All active tags have short description pages, or "tag wikis," at
/tags/foo/info
The descriptions include a short summary that is displayed on the main tag page at
/questions/tagged/foo
What happens when the tag wiki is edited?
All tag wiki changes are saved in the revision history, along with the individual editors. You can always view the complete revision history by clicking the history link at the bottom of the tag wiki page.
What should I write in the tag wiki?
See the guidelines in the blog post announcing tag wikis in their current form. To summarize:
- The excerpt is the elevator pitch for the tag.
- Avoid generically defining the concept behind a tag, unless it is highly specialized.
- Concentrate on what a tag means to your community.
- Provide basic guidance on when to use the tag.
