Do we need system tags?
For the syntax of tags see 1500 or What characters are permitted in tags ?
System tags are defined as tags which the system, and only the system, affixes.
Syntactically they were to be tags starting with "." So we can choose one of these characters in the first position to have special significance and to be privileged in some manner:

- | already taken, this is the censor's mark
- $ sorts to the top of the list and is usually associated with system stuff, but now we have invested in $bug and $wish and those are not system tags.
- . - sorts to the top of the list - is used now for .groups which could be a affixed by the system.
- * - sorts to the top of the list - might be scheduled for demolition because of its potential usage in a wildcard search syntax
- _ this is a good candidate for tagging something with a reserved word like "tags", or "title", or "group" etc ... these would become _tags, _title, _group.
- - sorts to the top of the list
- @ available - note this sorts after numbers
- ^ - available - sorts to the bottom of the list - according to winnies complaint that would be good for a system tag
- ~ - sorts to the bottom of the list - taken for its use as an intentional tags
- when a group header is created, the author may forget to tag it into .groups but the system could force that tag and make the .groups room more reliable.

System tags are now implemented. They are visible and assignable only by system administrators and the Merlin.
@ tags are general system tags used for administration and grouping for active lists.
@@ tags are singleton by-forced-design and designate specific system locations such as the domain home page, sign up thought, and special groups.
These tags will appear in tag dropdown lists for administrators by typing @ or @@.
