Personally, I have long concluded that use of tags is antipattern for me. Here is my short write-up explaining my [guidelines](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/my-guidelines-on-tags-with-org-roam-v2/3333) for tags. This is just me, and my guidelines are evolving. I realise there are other who use tags in wonderful ways.

>
> - Do not use a lot of tags in one note; instead create topic notes (index or MoC notes) and add links to them
> - Do not define many tags; they grow out of control if you are not careful
> - Your tag system will evolve over time; don’t worry about changing it
