Certain actions bring a Q&A back to the top of the top page of TopAnswers, in particular:
- adding an answer;
- editing the question or any answer.
But it seems as if **tag edits**, either adding or deleting tags, does *not* bump the Q&A in the site's sort order.
Is this correct?
I actually hope it is, as the re-tagging changes nothing in terms of Q&A content, only refines the "meta" information about it. (I always thought tag-edits on SE that bumped Q&As were a bit of a pain, frankly.)

I can't find the conversation behind it now, but on our todo list is a job to make tag edits bump questions but only on meta.ta, so as things stand…

…yes that's correct.

That's usually the case but on meta with tags like `in-progress` and `completed`, perhaps it still makes sense to have tag edits bump questions here? Or perhaps that's moot because most significant status changes also involve an answer (or answer edit) anyway, what do you think?
