Related to the other topic about reviewing our tagging guidelines, I’d like to bring up the notion of teaching proper “tagging hygiene.” By this, I mean teaching MDN contributors to not only remember to include tags on pages, but to tag properly so that everything behaves as expected.
At a minimum that means including the basic tags described by the tagging guide when creating pages (or updating the tags on existing ones).
The thing is, I’m not sure how to go about steering users into doing this well without making platform changes to help automate it (which I’ve submitted a proposal for, but realistically don’t expect to see happen anytime soon).
So — do you have ideas on how we can teach this important skill to MDN contributors?
