What are Tags, and how should I use them?

AnnaYardley

A tag is a word or phrase that describes the topic of the question. Tags help label specific content for improved findability -- for experts to answer and for seekers to find. When tags are used with advanced search, they isolate content by a relevant topic and improve results. 

Tags can also be helpful to identify questions and topics that interest you. 

Clicking on a tag below a question will bring you to a page with all questions with that associated tag. 

When tagging your post -- you will be able to search from pre-identified tags. You cannot create new tags, but if you feel that you have a strong case for a new tag that isn't available, Personal Message @DojoGirl with your idea. 

Formatting Tags:

When choosing tags, choose ones that best describe your question. Tags are formatted in all lowercase. Each post is limited to a maximum of 5 tags.
