Users without the Edit ability can suggest edits to posts. However, users without the Edit Tags ability have no way to suggest tag edits, and they have to be able to suggest some in order to gain the ability.

Here is what I see as a user with the ability:

tag page with "edit" button

A user without the privilege does not see a button there. Please add a "suggest edit" button there.

Just adding the button isn't enough, though -- the fact that there is a pending edit needs to be visible. At minimum, the tag page for users with the ability should show that there's a pending edit, like posts do, and allow for review.

Tags are less visible than posts, so this might not be enough -- people will have to come across the tag and its pending edit. The simplest thing might be to annotate the tag in the tags list somehow -- a special mark next to it, maybe -- to show that there is a pending edit. This way reviewers can scan the tags list, notice where edits are waiting, and go there. It's not as good as something that's more pushy, but we haven't designed something more pushy yet and this would at least let people get started.
