Tags all serve different purposes: sometimes they say what something is or the context in which it belongs ([[tag/view/edo|edo]], [[tag/view/interval|interval]]). Sometimes they are used for annotation purposes ([[tag/view/todo:reduce_mathslang|todo:reduce mathslang]]), etc. All these forms have in common is that they can combine wiki pages in a way that is independent of their authors.
