This is about to become slightly more important due to T303682: Requested wiki configuration change: remove changetags right from users on wikidatawiki <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303682> – there will be no way to tag edits made with the `wbcreateredirect` action at all. I tried to figure out what the impact of this would be (Quarry query for tags on recent '/* wbcreateredirect' edits <https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/63099>), but it turns out that edits with a `/* wbcreateredirect` summary are also created by the `wbmergeitems` API (which has a `tags` parameter, see T286778 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286778>), which probably accounts for the majority of these edits. That is, a single `wbmergeitems` API request creates two edits, with summaries like `/* wbmergeitems-to:0||Q35797306 */` and `/* wbcreateredirect:0||Q10711559|Q35797306 */`, and both of these edits will be tagged; the second of these edits could, I assume, also be made directly via the `wbcreateredirect` API, where the `tags` support is missing, but I’m not sure how this would actually happen. Note that the other entity type with support for redirects also has a dedicated API, `wblmergelexemes`, which also has a `tags` parameter. (Honestly, I’m not sure if the `wbcreateredirect` API has a reason to exist at all.)
