Description Ryan Kaldari 2013-06-28 20:29:50 UTC 
Suggested by Anomie...

If an edit includes the revision tag 'no ping', Echo should suppress any notifications being generated by that action. This would operate similar to the Echo blacklist, but per revision rather than per user.

Comment 1 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-07-03 00:33:43 UTC 
This seems like a somewhat inappropriate use case for a tag in some ways, since they were originally meant for users to filter on interesting edits.
Comment 2 Ryan Kaldari 2013-07-03 05:17:25 UTC 
In that case, aren't virtually all current uses of tags inappropriate?

Is there any other way to associate arbitrary metadata with a revision?
