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

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]]
