Tag bombing is the adding of multiple tags to an article or adding one tag to multiple articles. Adding tags to articles should be accompanied by detailed reasoning on the tagged article's talk page to explain why the tags are needed.

While some tag bombing may be a well-intended request for clarification, most often tag bombing is used as a way to promote a point of view.

Tag bombing is a form of disruptive editing and will not be tolerated by administrators. Editors who engage in tag bombing will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
