The pagestats plugin gives statistical information about *pages*, so it requires the pages in question to exist before it can get information about them. The tags plugin creates links to tag *pages*, with the expectation that a human being will create said pages and put whatever content they want on them (such as describing what the tag is about, and a map linking back to the tagged pages). + +> The approach that [PmWiki](http://www.pmwiki.org) takes is that it enables the optional auto-creation of (empty) pages which match a particular "group" (set of sub-pages); thus one could set all the "tags/*" pages to be auto-created, creating a new tags/foo page the first time the \[[!tag foo]] directive is used.
