@GeoffreyT2000: Have you experienced any abuse of that feature?

I have. I'm certain there were some tasks after deploying, but they are probably closed now.

Is this still desired / is there consensus to implement this change?

The ability to edit tags on individual revisions and log entries can be restricted to sysops with $wgGroupPermissions.

I didn’t see this task when creating my own, I apologize. Since work is already underway in that task, I will close this one as a duplicate :) Thanks!
