I have spent some time updating the wiki DebTaggingGuidelines. However,
I believe we should remove that page, now that tagging tips are
available from http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/edit-tips.html. The wiki
page was totally outdated, contradicting some of the things the new
tagging tips were saying.  Otherwise we get a redundancy. 
For the tag/facet related tagging tips from the wiki, I would suggest to
provide an additional field in the vocabulary. 
        Tagging-Hint: <something>
I think having the information collected in a single file helps to
maintain consistency.
