I would have to agree with Matthew here, further restricting tag creation (by forcing them to create a tag wiki) would only really prevent people from asking their questions. The creation of tags is already limited to users [above 200 reputation][1] so those users should already have at least a small idea of how the site works and there are also additional restrictions: > The new tag will now be available for all other community members to > use, without needing the new tag privilege. **It will also show up in > the moderator tools new tag report**. > > However, note that: > > - new tags will be **automatically culled** and removed from the system > **if they are not used by at least 1 other question in a 6 month period**. > - meta tags, tags that cannot stand alone as the only tag on a > question, are not allowed. So as well as the moderators being informed that a new tag was created (so it can be quickly deleted if needs be) if it is left unused on any other questions it will be deleted as well. I think the current level of restriction is a happy medium between preventing their creation and allowing responsible creation. [1]: https://superuser.com/privileges/create-tags
