No, in this wiki "tag" is a synonym for "category" and the "tag" and "category" templates are the same. We did that because "category" sounds heirarchical whereas "tag" is not. "tag" is also shorter and easier to use. But I am concerned that the extra confusion isn't worth it and we should just stick to category since that's the mediawiki standard.

: It turns out tha Tags and Categories act diffently in some situations. Look at their use within the "Category:" namespace. MarkDilley | talk | |||
:: What? How are they different? The templates are identical. Maybe we're needlessly confusing things by our naming. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:44, 16 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
