All you need is links. Tags are just links to pages which don't exists. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30915520 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30915

  If that's the approach you want to take, tags are links to a set of pages you've specifically defined, whether they exist or not being largely irrelevant. The term in library science is a controlled vocabulary. Search allows a document (or its author(s)) to define itself. A controlled vocabulary allows another party --- yourself or a third party --- to define a set of terms which describe the contents. There are various reasons why you might not want the document's author themselves to rule over such terms as "brilliant", "fascist", or the like. Some degree of distance may be required. Authors are also famously unreliable narrators.
