recent experiences suggest this is underpublicized, too long, or perhaps both. Anybody got any suggestions for a shorter form?

1. Singular tags are better.
2. A tagsistentially uncertain claim is not about tags, and the tag "tags" doesn't express the uncertainty in a useful way.

it just occurred to me that fiXedd may have meant "tags?" with the question-mark as part of the tag. that (or "tag?") might work.

Hellllllllp: too hard to be consistent about the number of L's.

'HelpTag' or 'Help tag' would be my suggestion

"tag help" feels more natural to me...

tagHelp implies that the claim exists to give help tagging. I would go with helpTag.
