I don't feel like one tag is enough. Does a cheat-only blueprint go into cheat or blueprint? Does rideable biters go into Enemies or Transportation or Storage (if you can put stuff inside of them)?

I'm referring to mods.factorio.com

Why is there a limit on number of tags in first place?

Limiting it to one is essentially equivalent to using folders. Limiting to three is better but doesn't make much sense to put a cap to the amount of tags.

Its a kovarex decision that 'When you look on one tag, and go to another, you don't want to see all the same mods"
For now i don't think we will allow more than 1 tag, but feel free to suggest better tags, as we know they aren't the most descriptive

That's usually how folders work

Actually, it seems there is a way to have more than one tag:

I think adding more tags into this system makes it worse, not better.

Tags can be usefull to mark grops of mods, for example bobs.
It will be less relevant when mod portal will be able to show all mods from single author (on author page).

I feel like my mod fits under more than one umbrella as well.
2 or 3 seems good. I certainly understand that if EVERYONE picked multiple tags then overall it would dilute the purpose of them.

Wait, what? One. Tag.

You may not like it, but limiting it to one tag is not actually understanding tagging.

I made a mod with some extra music on it for gameplay -- would love to see a music tag somewhere...if not, at least sounds/audio!

If only one is going to be allowed, it should be called "folder" or "classification" or "category". The term "tag" inherently implies that multiple are allowed.
