+No, this doesn't help:
+
+       +       # This refresh/saveindex is to fix the Tags link
+       +       # With out this additional refresh/saveindex the tag link displays ?tag
+       +       IkiWiki::refresh();
+       +       IkiWiki::saveindex();
+
+On the second extra pass, it doesn't notice that it has to update the "?"-link. If I run ikiwiki once more, it is updated. I don't know yet how this should be fixed, because I don't know the internals of ikiwiki good enough. Something inhibits detecting the need to update in refresh() in Render.pm; perhaps, this condition: 
+
+               if (! $pagemtime{$page}) {
+                   ...
+                               push @add, $file;
+                   ...
+                }
+
+is not satisfied for the newly created tag page. I shall put debug msgs into Render.pm to find out better how it works. --Ivan Z.
