Generally you will tag a page without putting a visible link on it.
The [[tag_plugin|plugins/tag]] allows you to do so, like this:
- \[[tag mytag othertag thirdtag]]
+ \[[!tag mytag othertag thirdtag]]
You can also tag a page with a visible link:
- \[[taglink mytag]]
+ \[[!taglink mytag]]
-This tag will be displayed just like a regular [[WikiLink]].
+This tag will be displayed just like a regular [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]].
One way to use these tags is to create a [[blog]] of pages that have a
particular set of tags. Or just look at the [[BackLinks]] to a tag page to
see all the pages that are tagged with it. [[Plugins]] can be written to do
anything else with tags that you might desire.
-Once you have tags, you can use the [[plugins/pagestats]] plugin to
-generate tag clouds.
