Yes of course but tags make sense if they are relevant so 32,000 tags are practically useless...

Many will be, but many will be optimally useful.
Take this new thread, for example.
One of the tags added is automatic noise cancellation even though the user only used the ANC abbreviation. So ChatGPT figured out what anc stands for in the context of this thread and added it. That’s rather useful, I think.
 
Yes, of course, the tags chatgpt adds make sense; the ones that don't are those randomly added because they appeared in the title before chatgpt.
It would also be fantastic if chatgpt wrote the tag description based on Wikipedia but reformulated it, without copying it... If the text is original, Google rewards it; if the text is copied, it's worth little or nothing to Google.

You can turn that feature off independent of the AI part.

Yes, it would cost more OpenAI tokens to do it, but it's an idea I have had. As usual it's a time thing. Coders are busy.
Also how would the logic work, because ChatGPT won't know whether any of the suggested tags are new, and therefore, we'd need to do a separate call to get the description. Probably not best to use Wikipedia at all, but ask ChatGPT to write a definition from scratch.
I would probably have the call to get the new tag definition be a batch job.
 
In fact, you don't need to rewrite the Wikipedia text, but simply have ChatGpt rewrite it to your liking.

The purpose of tags is primarily SEO because they're rarely used by users. For this reason, I think it would be nice to have them automatically syndicated from the title and/or ChatGpt.

The disable_this_link in tag notification emails only gives users the option to stop all emails (sidewide), rather than stopping notifications for a single tag. It appears to be because $actions is empty (see the email_stop_confirm email template).

Thanks for reporting this, a fix is incoming.

Meanwhile, I have been doing some research on tag pages. They show a definition of the tag (from Wikipedia by default) at the top and then a list of the content using the tag.
For tags with fewer than, say, 10 uses, these pages are “thin” and generate lots of low-value URLs.
So I plan to add an option to noindex low usage tag pages. noindex prevents them competing for index resources that you would rather spend on threads and the best tag pages.
 
Having the description copied from Wikipedia penalizes SEO, it would be better if the descriptions were rewritten by ChatGPT

Agreed and your previous comments on the matter led me to the investigations. It's not worth asking ChatGPT to write original definitions unless there are enough uses to warrant it. So I'm going to tie that in with the noindex functionality.
I.e. minimum of n (suggest 10) uses for the page to be indexed and have an original definition.
 
ChatGPT is pretty bad compared to Claude's writing SEO skill.
But even Claude needs an extensive set of guidelines for writing wiki articles. Claude is able to pull validated data from various connected sources to fill in wiki article content.
 
@Stuart Wright yes, a minimum of 10 threads linked to the alt tag is great for indexing the page, but the tag description is the most important thing for Google, and if it's copied from Wikipedia, I think Google will actually penalize the tag.
Noindexing is useful, but a forum with many tags already has many of them indexed. I don't know if it's a good thing to no longer index them.
Also because this whole tag thing is basically done only for Google since 99.99% of users don't browse forum tags.

The idea is to create pages which have value and good internal links. Tag pages with original definitions and a good number of tag uses can do that.
There will be a new admin option in Tag Essentials to set a minimum number of tag uses before the tag page is indexed. Later, this number will probably also be used to determine when to generate a new, original definition.
The number will default to 0 which does not change current functionality. I will propose that the number be set to 10 or 20, depending on how the admin feels about the value of the tag pages.
