33Tags are primarily designed to allow users to mark and find sentences that belong to a certain category. The most important use of tags is to indicate sentences that need special attention: **@change**, **@check**, **@delete**, etc.
44
55If you want to simply mark the source of a sentence, it is best to use a comment, especially if (1) the name of the source is very long or (2) you don't expect to be adding a large number of sentences from that source.
66
77Tags can only be added by advanced contributors, corpus maintainers, and admins. If you are a regular contributor and wish to add a tag, you should request it from someone who can do it for you.

9Tag names are to be written in English. For an explanation of this policy, along with further notes, see [Trang's tag guidelines from 2010](http://blog.tatoeba.org/2010/11/tags-guidelines.html).

1212
1313###OK
1414The tag **OK** indicates that the sentence is considered correct by the person who tagged it. You should only tag sentences "OK" in your own native language.
1515
1616###Utility tags
1717Tags whose names begin with "@" indicate sentences that require attention. They are listed below. The following are representative:
1818
1919- **@change** - The sentence needs to be changed.
2020- **@check** - The sentence needs to be checked.
2121- **@needs native check** - The sentence needs to be checked by a native speaker.
2222
2323##How to help
2424
2525You must be an advanced contributor in order to tag sentences. However, even if you are not a trusted user, you can still leave a comment that contains the same text as a tag (for example, "@check"). An advanced contributor may later choose to add a tag based on your comment.
2626
2727Whenever you notice a possible mistake that can be evaluated by either a native or non-native speaker, add the **@check** tag and post a comment explaining what you think the mistake may be.
2828
2929Whenever you add sentences in a foreign language or encounter sentences written by a non-native speaker, are not completely sure they are correct, and want a native speaker to validate them, add the **@needs native check** tag.
3030
3131Whenever you notice a sentence that you are certain is unnatural or wrong, add the **@change** tag and post a comment to suggest a correction or better phrasing.
3232
3333Whenever you can, browse through sentences that are tagged **@change**, **@check**, **@needs native check** to discuss the sentences with other members and help decide what to do with these sentences.
3434
3535Once the case of a problematic sentence has been solved, tag it **OK**. More generally, you can browse and check others' sentences, and tag them with **OK** to indicate you consider they are correct. But do this when you are 100% sure that the sentence is correct.
3636
3737Note that Tatoeba will not allow you to use the OK tag on your own sentence, whether you have written it or adopted it.
3838
3939You must be a corpus maintainer or admin in order to delete tags. However, even if you are not, you can add an **OK** tag to a sentence that contains a **@check**, **@change**, or **@needs native check** tag, and a corpus maintainer or admin can later delete the other tag. The **OK** tag will generally be left in place to indicate that a native speaker has checked the sentence.
