Q: Give moderators the power to add tag warnings

gerritAlthough I'm reasonably experienced on Stack Exchange (8+ years of activity, 40 sites with 500+ reputation, 247k total rep) and have been a diamond moderator on one site for some 5 years, today I saw a tag-warning for the first time. I have the impression this feature is used very, very little. ...

A: Give moderators the power to add tag warnings

Nicolas ChabanovskyCurrently there is a special field in the site settings where one needs to add a regex for the title, body or tags and specify the text that will be shown when the regex returns true. Only employees with dev access can change this site setting plus writing regexes is a special form of magic, ther...

> If you feel that your community can benefit from having some warnings, please start a discussion on your meta site. When the community comes to a consensus on the mechanics of a warning and a text to show, please add the status-review tag and we will pass the request to our developers to set the regex on the site for you.
This contrasts a bit with what I have heard from our mods - that it is rather difficult to get the SE staff to implement such tag warnings.
It seems that it is rather difficult to persuade a CM to create a tag warning. At least that's what I gather based on the response from a moderator when tag warnings were discussed on Mathematics. Let us hope that moderators will get the ability to add tag warnings and then the process will become a bit smoother. I have seen that the feature request about this is marked (status-review): Give moderators the power to add tag warnings. — Martin Jul 10 '20 at 9:47

Did you have some time to find out more about those tag warnings?

@MartinSleziak yes, but not too much came of it. Mostly a "it's not that useful anyway" (not an exact quote, but a paraphrase)
