Done: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Vernomia_altissima_(Compositae)_flower.JPG&withJS=MediaWiki:Tag.js Works with categories prefixed with "TAG:". Check "flower" and "pink", click on "subset". This leads to the toolserver, and there's only one result, but that could be "prettyfied" (dialog on Commons, previews, etc.) Click on the "+" to add a tag without reloading the page, and on the "x" after the tag to remove it, also without reloading. Everything's still a "normal" edit, so the usual revert options apply. Note that it's still experimental, and showing twice for me for some strange reason when I'm logged in, but so what...
