There’s another Thing for wordpress!
Tag Managing Thing! [Tag Managing Thing Download]
Tag Managing Thing is pretty sweet. It adds a new window to the Wordpress admin system which allows you to modify tags (and categories! (and things in any other post-based taxonomies you acquire through other plugins… Oooh! Exciting)).
Tags Terms can have their name and slug changed; and can be deleted. Two pedestrian, but none the less useful bits of functionality.
It’s also possible to split an existing term into a number of new terms; and you can merge existing terms into a single term. Two much more interesting things to be able to do.
Ooh, and this is my favourite. You can change the taxonomy that a term belongs to. Which is to say, you can turn a tag into a category or a category into a tag. (And if you have additional taxonomies for post objects, you can also move terms into and out of those taxonomies as well.)
I think it’s pretty neat.

Wonderfull plugin I’ve been dreaming of !
One thing though on Beta2, Name and/or slug renaming is not funtionnal.
Next big thing would be to have a mass tagging page with a list of posts title, and tag input field to add, remove or modify a bulky way !
Keep on the excellent work :)

[...] The native tagging support new to v2.3 import works well enough from UTW, haven’t tried from BunnyTags yet will do later but as I said the thing seems half arsed with no management page. As Christine pointed out in reply to my previous rambling she has put up a Tag Management plugin, which is exactly the type of thing that should have been built in in the first place. Does exactly as it says on the tin, though not when using IE, for me anyway, works fine with FF but jscript errors in IE. [...]
