Hi Everyone,
I could find a use for tag 'editing', I don't think it is a strange as
it seems. Consider the following for instance;
I have an application where users (we will call them employees) can
publish documents relating to a certain subject, or group of subjects.
They are product and application based. Other users (lets call them
customers) can then watch the subjects that concern them to be made
aware of updates/bug fixes/application notes etc...
I would like the employees to be able to choose from a predefined list
of tags, that someone would have to be able to edit. This keeps the tags
consistent and avoids the inevitable case/spelling/mistypes that could
result in orphaned tags.
I guess that this is not the pure intended use of tagging I know but I
can se how it would be very useful, at least to me :-)
You are completely right, I think the situation you present is quite often
actually, but, as you mentioned, it is some sort of hijacking tags and
using them as categories.
If it's only about case/spelling/mistypes, then the new tags suggest
feature in XWatch M4 can help you avoid the situation in a more elegant
manner than restricting the tag list.
We are looking into implementing the tags list in watch: giving the
possibility to the administrator to configure the usage of a tags list.
Thanks for your interest and feedback on xwiki watch,
Have fun!

Hi Xavier,
editing the list of tags is a quite strange concept because by
definition a list of tags generated by a community of users, so it makes
almost no sense editing the list itself.
The means to edit a list of tags are to edit the content that generates
it, i.e. the articles from which the list is generated.
Just click the tag to change so that you filter out all articles tags
with that tag and edit the tags of the articles in order to remove /
change the undesired tag. There is no 'bulk tag' or 'bulk change' for
the moment in watch and I'm not really sure this could be used for tag
editing or tag removing.
Have fun,
Anca Luca
Hi there,
how can I edit the list of tags in XWiki Watch?
I have twice the same word, once with a capital letter, once without
it, and I'd like to straighten this ...
Thanks,
Xavier
