One could modify the [[tag plugin|plugins/tag]] so that it adds 2 links to a page: for tagging -- `tagbase/TAG`, and for navigation -- `tagdescription/TAG` (displayed at the bottom). Then the `tagdescription/TAG` page would hold whatever list one wishes (with `tagged(TAG)` in the pagespec), and whenever one wants to merely refer to the tag, one should link to `tagdescription/TAG`--this link won't count as tagging. So, `tagbase/TAG` would become completely auxiliary (internal) link targets for ikiwiki, the users would edit or link to only `tagdescription/TAG`. --Ivan Z. |
