  • Checking the [list of tags](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags), I noticed that all of the tag wikis are empty, like this:
  • ![empty tag wiki](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/8QTeDWdUEzAg1SLUd9t3vCxM)
  • I also noticed that I can't edit those info.
  • Will it be possible for regular users to add tag wikis?<sup>1</sup>
  • And if there is such possibility, what are the recommendations for creating those wikis? Based on the screenshot above, it seems to me that they'll be similar to SE's tag wikis (an excerpt/usage info and a "body" with detailed info).
  • But SE has [clear guidelines](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/214337/401803) regarding what should and shouldn't be in a tag wiki. Can we follow that - at least while we don't have our own guidelines defined - or do we already have something different in mind?
