Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Thread tags/reply

First, the "Archived talk" link:  the purpose of that is to point to your old talk page. The existing User_Talk page would have to go somewhere, right? We don't want to lose that forever. So we archive it off and keep a copy.

Tags are intended to be short and mnemonic. Adding spaces to them feels like, well, another implementation of categories, I think.

The entire tagging infrastructure is definitely still under design. We know that they are essential in order to manage information velocity, but we don't know the exact form they'll take. It's possible that there will be both private and public tags, or maybe the "public tag" concept remains with categories, or one of many other solutions.

Your idea about "automatic tagging" is an interesting one. Let's put that on the pot to simmer.
