Thanks for your PR @Farcasut.
We usually go through proposal in the development category of the forum first.
I can for instance see some conceptual issues, that are worth discussing collectively.

1. I'm not sure seeing related tags is useful to everybody, and we try to only provide the most common features by default (i.e., it might be best if this UI element is provided by an extension).
2. We could imagine some other ways to generate the list of related tags (e.g., using machine learning, possibly proposing no yet existing tags) and it could be interesting to take that into account.

You are welcome to discuss with us on the #xwiki matrix room too :)

Hi, @manuelleduc! This feature was proposed by @snazare to be integrated into the platform so that we can include the label list macro from Confluence inside XWiki. See xwikisas/xwiki-pro-macros#262 (comment). I will also start a discussion on the matrix room to see what is the best way to integrate this feature.

Thanks for working on this!

@Farcasut You said it's been proposed but for that there needs to be a page created on design.xwiki.org and a proposal on the forum (or just a proposal if it's a small topic), to let the whole community review it and discuss it, and so that the feature and the architecture for it can be discussed. Using matrix is not good enough and not the right way (the problem with it is that not everyone will see or have the time to respond to messages there and they'll then be drowned by newer messages).

Thx
