If there is no tag wiki for a tag yet, is it okay to copy the introduction from Wikipedia?
It is frowned upon and shouldn't be done.

How long should tag wiki excerpts be?
Excerpts need to be as long as they need to be.

Is it okay to begin tag wiki excerpts with "for questions about..." or "a/an", or are such w...
Brevity is the issue here, and a style of writing or speaking that can differ between two, or even more, users.
How wordy you want to be when it comes to the limited space and attention that displays …

Appeal tag wiki ban?
Just wait the seven (7) days before trying again.
The timeout is to slow down users suggesting edits that may not be up to scratch and need of some refinement.
In your tag wiki excerpts, while a sug …

Who is previewing tag wikis?
Either users with a reputation over 5000 or moderators can approve tag wikis.

What should I do with suggested edits to the wiki of bad tags?
