The suggestions post

Soon (for certain values of 'soon'), there will be a "suggestions generator", where you fill out forms and it will post an entry to this community for you, for discussion and the like.

Until then, if you've got something you'd like to suggest for Dreamwidth, you can leave it as a comment here! You can review our development roadmap explanation first, since it includes a lot of our upcoming big projects.

The Suggestions Generator is now live! Please fill out that form instead.

Would it be possible to merge tags? Say, if I didn't pay attention when I came up with tags for my journal and made two or three that basically are the same? Like, say, "huzzah!" and "huzzah". Instead of re-tagging all the posts involved, it would be neat to just go and merge the tags themselves. :)

Oh yes, I would really like this feature too!

"Me three". I am currently losing the battle to wrangle my tags because doing so by re-tagging all my stupid typos or naming convention fails is tedious.

Me being the fourth to raise her hand on this.

Oh, god, yes please! This is currently my top wish for a DW improvement. Even if we could just go into "manage tags" and re-name a tag to match an existing tag.

I'd also love to be able to automatically add another tag to all entries with a certain. Both of those should be easily doable with the existing frontend.

(I'd also love to be able to batch-tag - go into "Edit Entries", select a bunch of entries, add a tag to all of them at once. I've been spoiled by LibraryThing's tag-management system.

It would also be nice if I could use my arrow keys to scroll down the tags list in "manage tags". And if I didn't lose my place in that list every time I changed a tag.)

Yes yes yes! This would be great!

To tack on to this (and the original in the thread):

I'd like to have an option to spontaneously create a new tag. Like, say you're writing about a topic (for this hypothetical situation we'll say you're talking about poker), and when you start out, you don't think you'll write it very often. Three entries involving talk about poker later, you realize you want a tag for poker.

I'd like to suggest being able to go into the maintenance of tags, create the tag 'poker,' and have the option to search through previous entries that have the word 'poker' and tack on the tag. (I'm not sure if I'm explaining it properly, please to be giving feed back on the readability of this)
