Gutted some extraneous information
  • (Continued discussion of a specific idea from [What tag hierarchy and ontology should Linguistics use?](https://languages.codidact.com/questions/278930))
  • As you've probably noticed, we have the ability to put style tags differently. For example, the discussion, feature-request, support, and bug tags have a different color scheme from the other tags (and are also displayed before the others). There are two (ok three) types of tag styling:
  • - Required tags: a question must use at least one from a defined set. The four dark-blue meta tags are defined like this.
  • - Topic tags: not required (a question doesn't have to use any of them), but they get special styling when they're used. Currently this styling is a darker border around the (regular) tag. [Photo & Video](https://photography.codidact.com/) uses these.
  • - Moderator-only tags: like the status tags; not applicable here but included for completeness.
  • Should we make language tags topic tags so they stand out a little?

Added different tag types after discussion in chat with OP.
