Used when there are a ridiculous amount of tags on a post, implying that tagging or even keeping track of them is a lot of effort (hence "panic"). Often this is because of an animation with lots of things going on at once, or because a large group of characters or absolutely everyone happens to be in the post. This started as a tag for posts that are so complicated to tag (too many obscure characters, etc) that most taggers throw their hands in air and scream that they don't want to touch that. Hence the name, tag panic. It is unclear why the usage got changed to the current definition, since it was originally for undertagged posts.

• 150 valid tags (apart from this tag) is the minimum required to qualify for this tag.
• Please note: Just because a post has a lot of tags doesn't mean it deserves this tag; anything below triple digits is certainly not worthy of this tag.
• Tip: Most of these will be under order:tagcount.
