WordPress’s tagging feature is good, but it lacks mass-editing. Healthy taxonomies need regular maintenance too, so I went hunting through tag plugins compatible with 2.5.1. I found Simple-tags, which is proving handy for nudging around the tags on my 2,000 or so posts.

Useful features:

• Bulk tag delete and rename, including tags listed by popularity
• Tag grouping, which allows you to add a tag that encompasses other tags
• Auto-tagging, on post-save or en-mass

While it takes some time to clean up a tag space, it’s at least possible now.
