[uf-discuss] Q: possible error in wiki

Well, yeah. Adding a tag to an irrelevant word is somewhat counter
intuitive, since tags are meant to be visible metadata.  There's
nothing *technically* stopping you do that though.

I'm not sure what you mean by the second part, but tags can exist for
whatever word you choose to use. By using the word, you create the URL
if it doesn't already exist.
