==Standard tags (''New in 3.1'')==
Clicking into a tag collection, such as the default collection, displays  a list of tags, together with information on their creators, how many times they are used, when they were last modified, which tags have been flagged as inappropriate and which tags are marked as official. Inappropriate tags are shown in red when using the default theme.
Tags may be renamed, marked them as standard or reset. Tags may also be deleted  individually or in bulk.


Standard tags are tags which are added by a site administrator and are displayed to all users of the Moodle site when tagging content.  Creating a set of standard tags for commonly used topics can reduce the amount of duplication in tags. Standard tags are never deleted during cleanup tasks even when there are no tagged items.
