What if the tag I want already exists?

If the tag already exists, you can use it by typing the tag name in the tag field. You can also check the tag's description to see if it fits your question.

Can I edit an existing tag?

Yes, if you have enough reputation points, you can edit the tag's description or synonyms to improve it.

What happens if I create a tag that is too similar to an existing one?

If the tag is too similar, it may be merged with the existing tag by the community or moderators to avoid redundancy.
