818491 - Tag rename

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Tags / flags, enhancement, P2)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Some users should be able to rename tags across the MDN. For example, an editor might want to rename the tag "CSS Docs" to "CSS Reference".

Sheppy: Can you please say more about how this feature should work?

Actually, Sheppy shared some thoughts on this in bug 809514.

Admins can rename tags nowadays.

I assume that happens outside of the wiki, right? Would be nice to have that feature available inside the wiki (behind a waffle flag), so volunteers like me can help tightening them up.

It is indeed in the admin interface.
