I noticed my list of favorite tags getting pretty long on my sidebar. It made me question if there was a limit on how many favorite tags a user can have. I checked the Arqade meta and meta.SO but there does not seem to be any mention of a max.

So is there a limit and, if so, what is that limit?

    A note, in case you didn't know: favorite tags accept the * wildcard. So if you, for example, want to follow all the questions about call-of-duty, you can favorite [tag:call-of-duty*]. I do this to help keep my favorite tags a bit compacter for game series I have interest in. (Edit: though it apparently doesn't autoconvert to a tag in comments... interesting)

    Technical answer: Yes*. Realistic Answer: *Not any limit worth worrying about.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: it would be stupid if there's one so low that you can trigger it

    @Braiam - why would it be stupid if there was one? It would actually make sense from a technical point of view that there IS a hard limit, but I daresay we don't even have nearly enough tags to reach that number anyway.

  • @Robotnik because SE is flexible, and they have to be ready for someone ignoring/favoring a load of tags like in the screenshot.

  • Again, I daresay there IS a hard limit, but I bet there isn't enough tags across the whole network to hit said limit. Also did you go and favorite those tags just to make a point lol :-P

  • That's nothing. I'm somewhere around 800 ignored tags on Arqade.
