| If Bricklink supported tags on catalog items (which could be reviewed/flagged
by catalog admins just like any other change) it would make it easier to find
things and there would be less "what is this" questions on the forums. For example
a minifig torso from a NinjaGo Zane minifig could have "NinjaGo" and "Zane" added
as tags. Or a part like 60208 (Wheel 31mm D. x 15mm Technic) could have tags
like "turbine" and "engine" added since its been used as an aircraft/spacecraft/boat/hovercraft
engine part in so many sets. (its never even been used as a wheel as far as I
can tell and no tyres exist that fit it).
I am sure people here can think of many other uses for tags on catalog items...
Brickset has tags on sets and its quite useful.

It's a really great idea!

Good idea, supported. At times I'm searching forever but cannot find. I then
use Brickset to find the item there and go back to BL to buy/sell.

Yes please !!
Just yesterday I asked to correct (what i thought was) a typo in catalogue.
Turns out (nexo knight) gLoblin cannot be found by searching for goblin.
I was looking for this specific tile, which should interest future generations
of dark fantasy MOC'rs;
http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3069bpb463&idColor=2#T=C&C=2
Using tags, I foresee higher trade volumes, especially toward new customers or
people who are little acquainted to BL catalogue.
