It may be that I'm simply misunderstanding something, but what is the rationale for having `tagged()` also match normal wikilinks? > It simply hasn't been implemented yet -- see the answer in > [[todo/tag_pagespec_function]].

On some pages, scattered over the whole wiki, I use `\[[!tag open_issue_gdb]]` to declare that this page contains information about an open issue with GDB. Then, I have a page `/tag/open_issues_gdb.mdwn` that essentially contains `\[[!map pages="tagged(open_issue_gdb)"]]`. So far, so good: this page indeed does list all pages that are tagged like this. But now, when I add in `/gdb.mdwn` a link to this page, like `\[[Open Issues|tag/open_issue_gdb]]`, then `/gdb.mdwn` itself shows up in the map on `tag/open_issues_gdb.mdwn`. In my understanding this is due to the wikilink being equal to a `\[[!tag ...]]`. What's the rationale on this, or what am I doing wrong, and how to achieve what I want? --[[tschwinge]] > What you are doing "wrong" is putting non-tag pages (i.e. > `/tag/open_issues_gdb.mdwn`) under your tagbase.

[[todo/matching_different_kinds_of_links]] is probably >> how it will eventually be solved. --[[Joey]] > And this is an illustration why a clean work-around (without changing the software) is not possible: while thinking about [[todo/matching_different_kinds_of_links]], I thought one could work around the problem by simply explicitly including the kind of the relation into the link target (like the tagbase in tags), and by having a separate page without the "tagbase" to link to when one wants simply to refer to the tag without tagging. But this won't work: one has to at least once refer to the real tag page if one wants to talk about it, and this reference will count as tagging (unwanted). --Ivan Z. > But well, perhaps there is a workaround without introducing different kinds of links. One could modify the [[tag plugin|plugins/tag]] so that it adds 2 links to a page: for tagging -- `tagbase/TAG`, and for navigation -- `tagdescription/TAG` (displayed at the bottom). Then the `tagdescription/TAG` page would hold whatever list one wishes (with `tagged(TAG)` in the pagespec), and whenever one wants to merely refer to the tag, one should link to `tagdescription/TAG`--this link won't count as tagging. So, `tagbase/TAG` would become completely auxiliary (internal) link targets for ikiwiki, the users would edit or link to only `tagdescription/TAG`. --Ivan Z.
