Thank you

@Mach61 thanks for sharing this wish. Could you add a sentence or two on how this better search can be used, and why it is important for you? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 08:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@JWheeler-WMF Two advantages of my proposal are:

1. Those who know the full name of the tag can access the tag quicker than typing the full name or scrolling, by typing in the minimum string necessary to filter out all (or even just most) other tags
2. Users who are unfamiliar for a tags full name can try searching based on keywords for it (this is particularly useful in cases for when the tag displays differently to how it's called; to find diffs with a reverted tag, you currently have to type in mw-reverted, but under this proposal both would work.

A screenshot would make your proposal much more readily understood and clearer. Adding a screenshot that shows what you mean would be quite useful here. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
