Tagging was introduced into Core in April of 2016. If you are using Discourse 1.6.0.beta2 or later, you do not need this plugin.
See this post for more information.
This plugin provides tagging functionality to Discourse. When users create topics they can optionally attach tags.
Tags are a useful alternative to categories for some forums. For example if you were running a music forum, being able to tag a topic as "Hip Hop" and "Electronica" would be useful. If you were using categories you'd have to choose one or the other.
Follow our Install a Plugin howto, using
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-tagging.git as the plugin command.
Once you've installed it, review the settings under admin and then enable
tagging_enabled.
