This plugin allows tagging pages. List tags as follows:

[[!tag  tech life linux]]

The tags work the same as if you had put a (hidden) WikiLink on the page for each tag, so you can use a PageSpec match all pages that are tagged with a given tag, for example. The tags will also show up on blog entries and at the bottom of the tagged pages, as well as in RSS and Atom feeds.

If you want a visible WikiLink along with the tag, use taglink instead:

[[!taglink  foo]]
[[!taglink  tagged_as_foo|foo]]

This plugin has a configuration option. Set --tagbase=tags and links to tags will be located under the specified base page. If ikiwiki is configured this way, then the example above actually tags the page with the tags tags/tech, tags/life, and tags/linux. This is a useful way to avoid having to write the full path to tags, if you want to keep them grouped together out of the way.

If you want to override the tagbase for a particular tag, you can use something like this:

[[!tag  ./foo]]
[[!taglink  /foo]]

This wiki has the tag plugin enabled, so you'll see a note below that this page is tagged with the "tags" tag.
