The tag pane could be made functional.

That means offering the possibility to perform operations.

All operations would be batch operations, modifying all instances of a tag, in all files.

Example operations:

  • Create New (Empty) Tag
  • Rename Tag (would rename all instances of the tag)
  • Delete Tag (would delete all instances of the tag)
  • Create Hierarchical Relationship

This would allow the possibility to easily create temporary tags.

Hello @danitrusca and all other readers looking for that feature. As of today, there is the possibility to use the wonderful “Tag Wrangler” Plugin from @pjeby to manage this important tasks. For the massive improvement these functions are adding to Obsidian I propose here to consider making this a core feature.

Hi Markus. I agree, Tag Wrangler is beautiful and I’m all for making it a core feature. The problem with Tag Wrangler is that it can only rename tags. I wish it also allowed you to create and delete tags.

Creating and deleting tags would also be a major improvement to my workflow. At the moment I maintain an extra document inside obsidian to have an overview over existing tags, reorganize them and create empty ones there. As you can imagine, this is cluttering my graph up and is a pain in the ass to keep up to date.
