We’ve added a new way for you to manage your ever-growing list of tags. If you go to your tags page – you’ll see a new link in the right-hand column to “edit, replace or delete your tags”.
The cool thing about being able to edit your tags from here is: say you select that you’d like to edit your photos tagged with “vancouver”… when you use the edit form, you can either a) edit the spelling, b) change “vancouver” to a completely different tag, or c) add more related tags to every photo already tagged with “vancouver”, like “british columbia” or “canada”.
You might also have tags that are really similar like “dos pesos”, “Dos Pesos” and “dos pesos”. Note that when you added these 3 tags they were not created equal in terms of the way they display, but as far as the URL that’s used to find all your photos tagged with “dos pesos”, the tag is the same: dospesos. The new edit form gives you the opportunity to merge those 3 tags into one. Simply enter the ‘correct’ way you’d like this tag to appear once, and all the different ways you’ve entered it in the past will merge into one.
And! We’ve also split this new edit view so you can either open a list of your most popular 150 tags (as shown on your tags page) to edit, or you can choose to view a list of all your tags. Watch out though! Some people have thousands of tags, so this page may take a little while to come up.
If you happen to have some untagged photos, you can see a summary of them all from the new tag editing page too, and open up a batch-editing page to tag ’em all up!
