 While ikiwiki supports hierarchically categorising pages by creating
-[[SubPage]]s, that's often not flexible enough, and it can also be useful
-to tag pages in various non-hierarchical ways.
+[[SubPages|ikiwiki/SubPage]], that's often not flexible enough, and it can also be
+useful to tag pages in various non-hierarchical ways.
 
-Since this is a wiki, tagging is just a form of linking. For example, since
-this page links to [[features]], it can be considered to have something to
-do with ikiwiki's features. If you want to put pages into a category, the
-typical wiki way to do so is to create a "CategoryFoo" page and link pages
-in the category to it. That is just another form of tagging.
+Since this is a wiki, tagging is just a form of linking. The general rule
+is that all tags are links, but not all links are tags. So a tag is a
+special link that ikiwiki knows is intended to be used as a tag.
 
-Sometimes you may want to tag a page without putting a visible link on it.
-The [[meta_plugin|plugins/meta]] allows you to do so, like this:
+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:
 
-	\\[[meta link=mytag]]
+	\[[tag mytag othertag thirdtag]]
 
-One way to use these tags is to create a [[blog]] of pages that have a
-particular set of tags. [[Plugins]] can be written to do anything else with
-tags that you might desire.
+You can also tag a page with a visible link:
+
+	\[[taglink mytag]]
+
+This tag will be displayed just like a regular [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]].
+
+One way to use these tags is to create a [[ikiwiki/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.
