Tags are pieces of metadata that label edits based on whether or not the edits possess certain defined characteristics. Tags are assigned by programs in the wikis that look at every change as it’s made; if the software finds what it’s looking for, it adds a tag to the metadata about the change. Some tags are simple: they label things like an edit’s source (“mobile app edit”) or identify certain types of edits by straightforward characteristics (“repeating characters”). Other tags are the results of more complex calculations that factor in multiple pieces of information about an edit to make judgements (“possible vandalism”).
