When tagging a post should you include every applicable popularly used tag? I'm worried about over-tagging, if that's even a thing. I can't really think of what would entail that, but I'm still worried about it, as I'm a new user and don't want to mess up tagging.
Also, a general question for while I'm here in the forums again; what's the desired detail in tag edit reasoning? Is it preferable for detailing the reasoning behind every change, or is a simple "added missing tags" applicable when not removing/editing somebody else's added tag?

A: yes

the only way to 'mess up' is adding tags that are not applicable.

to give you some perspective, in my experience a picture with one character and no background can reach up to around 70 tags, depending on the number of details.
on less detailed pictures, sometimes i find only 30 or so tags apply.

the only time i fill in the 'edit reason' field is when i'm adding/removing a tag that is subtle, could be easily mistaken, hard to see in the picture, etc.
from what i've seen it doesn't get used very often.

Good to know, thank you very much!

There can never be too many tags. There's always someone searching for something they might like and the more an image is tagged, the easier it is for people who like that stuff to find it, and for the people who don't want to see it to blacklist it.

As long as theyre all relevant tags i dont see any problem with loads of tags
