 to it, you can accomplish that like this:
 
-\\[[inline pages="blog/* !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+       \[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
 
 You can even create an automatically generated list of all the pages on the
 wiki, with the most recently added at the top, like this:
 
-\\[[inline pages="* !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+       \[[inline pages="* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]

+
+       \[[inline pages="link(life)"]]
+
+Or include some tags and exclude others:
+
+       \[[inline pages="link(debian) and !link(social)"]]
