* Q: What is a WikiTag?
** A: It is in its simplest form a WikiWord placed somewhere in a WikiPage to identify the page as one of many pages having some common characteristic. It usually exists, not to link you to a page, but to identify the group of pages (found by BackLinks) indicated by the tag.
** A few Examples:
*** CategoryCategory (Category by name)
*** EditHint
*** EditingThisPage
*** HomePage

*** WeNeedExamples
