Tim,

There are tools that will help you do this but learning how to do it 
yourself can be quite informative.

If you can generate a list of your tiddler this way
<$list filter="yourfilter here">

</$list>

you can place this in a button like this so that on clicking the button the 
actions will be applied to each tiddler

<$button>
<$list filter="yourfilter here">
  "Actions"
</$list>
buttonname
</$button>

So in your case you want to add mytag

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param="mytag"/>
but you could add other actions there


If you see this you learn the fieldmangler widget 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#FieldManglerWidget> is required for some "messages" 
and it will not work unless its wrapped as follows. 

Noting fieldmangler defaults to currentTiddler so it needs to be where the 
currentTiddler value changes


So the final result you can test on tiddlywiki.com is


<$button>
<$list filter="[prefix[A]]">
   <$fieldmangler>
  <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param="mytag"/>
  </$fieldmangler>
</$list>
Tag below with mytag
</$button>

<$list filter="[prefix[A]]">

</$list>

Note how I include a list along with the button so I can see what I would 
impact.


You could have a filter stored elsewhere referenced in both list and button to 
make sure they have an identical filter. Even editable;


Now I have taught you to fish, https://kookma.github.io/TW-Commander/ will help 
you without learning as much


Regards

Tony
