How do you hide a tag on the tag manager tab?

Greetings Everyone.

My problem is about having too many tags which leads me wanting to hide some tags on the tags tab. Is this possible? If yes, how?

Try this:

  • The list of tags is generated here $:/core/ui/MoreSideBar/Tags. You don’t need to change this tiddler. Within this tiddler, the filter used to get the list of tags is defined here: $:/core/Filters/AllTags.
  • In $:/core/Filters/AllTags change the “filter” field from
    [tags[]!is[system]sort[title]]
    to
    [tags[]!is[system]sort[title]] -[subfilter{$:/config/HideTags}]
  • Then, create a new tiddler named $:/config/HideTags
  • In its text field, enter a space-separated list of tags you want to hide. If a tag value contains spaces, enclose that value within doubled-square brackets, like this:
    [[Chapter 1: Whole Numbers]]
  • Note that the $:/config/HideTags text contents can include filter syntax. Thus, if you want to exclude any tags that start with “Chapter”, you could just enter:
    [prefix[Chapter]]

enjoy,
