Tags allow students and teachers to map different types of content on the site. Moodle uses tags for user interests, blog posts, wiki pages and course. Other plugins may use tagging functionality to tag more content types. Clicking on a tag name will display other users, courses or blog posts that were tagged with this word. It is also possible to search for tags or access them through a Tags block or Blog tags block. Tags are created automatically when something was tagged with this word for the first time. Users with appropriate privileges can mark some tags as "official" and they will be suggested when tagging content. It is also possible to add Flickr or YouTube blocks on the individual tags pages to display related images or video from the Internet.

Tagging courses (new in Moodle 3.0)

+Tags allow students and teachers to map different types of content on the site. Moodle uses tags for user interests, blog posts, wiki pages and course. Other plugins may use tagging functionality to tag more content types. Clicking on a tag name will display other users, courses or blog posts that were tagged with this word. It is also possible to [[Using_tags#Search_tags|search for tags]] or access them through a [[Tags block]] or [[Blog tags block]]. Tags are created automatically when something was tagged with this word for the first time. Users with appropriate privileges can mark some tags as "official" and they will be suggested when tagging content. It is also possible to add [[Flickr block|Flickr]] or [[Youtube_block|YouTube]] blocks on the individual tags pages to display related images or video from the Internet.
-Tags allows students and teachers to describe their interests in a way that is easy for people with similar interests to find them.  The user's profile has a place to enter interests, which will create or add the user to an existing tag. Tag pages can be viewed and blog posts can be tagged.
-==Describing interests for tags==
+* [[Tag settings]]
-To tell everyone what your interests are, go to your profile editing page and enter your interests/tags separated by commas. If a tag you entered already exists, you get associated to that tag. If it does not, a new tag will be created (if you have the capability to [[Capabilities/moodle/tag:create|create new tags]]).

-[[Image:Tags.PNG|thumb|Adding user defined tags]]After writing a blog post, users are allowed to add user defined tags about the post. These are usually keywords relevant to the post separated by commas. If a tag you entered already exists, you get associated to that tag. If it does not, a new tag will be created. If one tag is associated with interests and a blog post, the tag page will show both.
+===Tagging courses (new in Moodle 3.0)===
+Users who can access the course and have the course capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:tag|moodle/course:tag]] are able to tag the courses. (more info:  [[Using_tags#Course_tags|course tagging]] )

-==Tag pages==
+==See also==
-[[Image:moodle_tag_page.png|thumb|A tag page]]Each tag in Moodle has a page associated with it. The tag page brings together users, information and resources related to that tag. A tag has a description, links to related tags, a list of users associated with that tag and Moodle blocks with resources related to it.
+* [[Tags FAQ]]
-* If the user has the capability to [[Capabilities/moodle/tag:edit|edit tags]], a link "Edit this tag" will appear in the tag page. By clicking on it, you will get redirect to the [[Tag_editing | tag editing page]].
-* If the tag name or its content is inappropriate, a user may click on the "Flag as inappropriate" link to report that. This will allow those responsible for maintaining the good use of the tags functionality to take appropriate action, such as deleting the tag. See [[Manage_tags|Managing tags]].
-* If the user has the capability to [[Capabilities/moodle/tag:editblocks|edit blocks]], he will be able to change the configuration of the blocks that appear on the tag page.
-==Tag clouds==
-A very effective way of viewing all tags is in a [[Tags block|tags block]], or "tag cloud". A unique feature of tag clouds are that the size of each tag is related to the amount of items associated with it. The larger the tag, the more items associated with it.
-==Tags settings==
-By default, site-wide tags functionality is enabled. If this is not required, tags functionality may be disabled by an administrator by un-checking the ''usetags'' box in ''Administration > Security > [[Site policies]]''.
