Can we have description of tags when we hover over / click them?

+7
−0

With the re-tagging of the site proposal, new tags were introduced. I didn't know the meaning of those, so I hovered over them to see a short description just as I was / am used to doing in the Stack Exchange network, just to notice that this doesn't exist here yet.

Can we have short descriptions of tags when you hover over them / or click on them? (For the second suggestion, I want to stay on the same site and not be redirected to the specific tag's site.)

Behaviour as implemented on the Stack Exchange network:

hovering tags produces a short description on the Stack Exchange network

Behaviour here on Codidact (you can't see my mouse pointer but you can see that the tag is hovered as it's slightly darker than the others):

hovering tags doesn't produce a short description on Codidact

This was done a while ago but I missed this update. If there is a short description, it shows on hover. What is missing, and I hope to improve, is that if there isn't a short description, there's no hover text at all. I think it would be better to show something like "no description yet" so it doesn't look like we have a bug with sometimes showing the text and sometimes not.

The last part is done now; if you hover over a tag that doesn't have a short description, you see "no description yet".
