The descriptions for the Strunk & White Badge and Copy Editor Badges have the following text:

Edit [X] posts (excluding own or deleted posts and tag edits)

But actually, when I edit tags, I've noticed that my score of number of posts edited for the badges goes up.

Thus my question: is the description wrong (outdated) or is there a bug in the system?

    No repro here when editing your question's tags. – Frédéric Hamidi Jul 31 '15 at 9:58
  • @Frédéric Thanks! The way you formulate your comment makes me think that "tag edits" are not editing tag wiki posts but rather editing how a post is tagged. That would certainly explain my confusion. – patapouf_ai Jul 31 '15 at 10:36

I think I might have misunderstood the description. In particular I might have misunderstood what a "tag edit" is. I understood a "tag edit" to be an edit of the tag description. It might be that a "tag edit" refers to changing how a post is tagged. Thank you @Frédéric Hamidi for putting me on the right track with your comment.

    "an edit of the tag description" is a tag wiki edit... – jonrsharpe Jul 31 '15 at 11:05

A tag edit would be removing or adding a tag on your question. Changing the wiki of a tag is a tag wiki edit and is included towards the editor badges.

So since you are editing the "description" of the tags that is a valid edit and you should see your counter increasing.

Here is a List of all badges with full descriptions
