-### `TagIdentifier`
+When a function requires declaring a new tag (using the `$` syntax), the argument has type [`TagDecl`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TagDecl).
 
-As per the example above you can use the tag identifier to get a reference to the 
-tagged object. The syntax for this is `myTag`.
+### Tag identifiers
 
-In the example above we use the tag identifier to get the angle of the segment
-`segAng(rectangleSegmentA001)`.
+A tag created using a tag declarator can be used by writing its name without the `$`, e.g., `myTag`.
+Where necessary to disambiguate from tag declarations, we call these tag identifiers.
 
-### `Start`
+In the example above we use the tag identifier `rectangleSegmentA001` to get the angle of the segment
+using `segAng(rectangleSegmentA001)`.
 
-There is a special tag, `START` (with type `Start`, although under the cover, it's a string)
-for identifying the face of a solid which was the start of an extrusion (i.e., the surface which
-is extruded).
+Tags can identify either an edge or face of a solid, or a line or other edge of a sketch. Functions
+which take a tag identifier as an argument will use either [`TaggedEdge`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TaggedEdge) (for the edge of a
+solid or sketch) or [`TaggedFace`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TaggedFace).
 
-### `End`
+If a line in a sketch is tagged and then the sketch is extruded, the tag is a `TaggedEdge` before
+extrusion and a `TaggedFace` after extrusion.
+
+#### `START` and `END`
+
+[`START`](/docs/kcl-std/consts/std-START) and [`END`](/docs/kcl-std/consts/std-END) are special tags
+for identifying the starting and ending faces of an extruded solid.

+
+Tags are used to give a name (tag) to a specific path.
+
+### Tag Declaration
+
+The syntax for declaring a tag is `$myTag`. You would use it in the following
+way:
+
+```js
+startSketchOn(XZ)
+  |> startProfile(at = origin)
+  |> angledLine(angle = 0, length = 191.26, tag = $rectangleSegmentA001)
+  |> angledLine(
+       angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001) - 90deg,
+       length = 196.99,
+       tag = $rectangleSegmentB001,
+     )
+  |> angledLine(
+       angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001),
+       length = -segLen(rectangleSegmentA001),
+       tag = $rectangleSegmentC001,
+     )
+  |> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
+  |> close()
+```
+
+### Tag Scope
+
+Tags are scoped globally if in the root context meaning in this example you can
+use the tag `rectangleSegmentA001` in any function or expression in the file.
+
+However if the code was written like this:
+
+```js
+fn rect(origin) {
+  return startSketchOn(XZ)
+    |> startProfile(at = origin)

 subtitle: "Type in std::types"

+excerpt: "Reference a previously created tag. Used much like a variable."
 layout: manual
 ---
 
-Tags are used to give a name (tag) to a specific path.
+**WARNING:** This type is deprecated.
 
-### Tag Declaration
+Reference a previously created tag. Used much like a variable.
 
-The syntax for declaring a tag is `$myTag` you would use it in the following
-way:
-
-```js
-startSketchOn(XZ)
-  |> startProfile(at = origin)
-  |> angledLine(angle = 0, length = 191.26, tag = $rectangleSegmentA001)
-  |> angledLine(
-       angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001) - 90deg,
-       length = 196.99,
-       tag = $rectangleSegmentB001,
-     )
-  |> angledLine(
-       angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001),
-       length = -segLen(rectangleSegmentA001),
-       tag = $rectangleSegmentC001,
-     )
-  |> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
-  |> close()
+```kcl
+type tag = TaggedEdge
 ```
 
-### Tag Identifier
-
-As per the example above you can use the tag identifier to get a reference to the
-tagged object. The syntax for this is `myTag`.
-
-In the example above we use the tag identifier to get the angle of the segment
-`segAng(rectangleSegmentA001)`.
-
-### Tag Scope
-
-Tags are scoped globally if in the root context meaning in this example you can
-use the tag `rectangleSegmentA001` in any function or expression in the file.
-
-However if the code was written like this:
-
-```js
-fn rect(origin) {
-  return startSketchOn(XZ)
-    |> startProfile(at = origin)
-    |> angledLine(angle = 0, length = 191.26, tag = $rectangleSegmentA001)
-    |> angledLine(
-         angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001) - 90,
-         length = 196.99,
-         tag = $rectangleSegmentB001)
-    |> angledLine(
-         angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001),
-         length = -segLen(rectangleSegmentA001),
-         tag = $rectangleSegmentC001
-       )
-    |> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
-    |> close()
-}
-
-rect(origin = [0, 0])
-rect(origin = [20, 0])
-```

-

-

-    |> angledLine(
-         angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001) - 90deg,
-         length = 196.99
-         tag = $rectangleSegmentB001,
-       )
-    |> angledLine(
-         angle = segAng(rectangleSegmentA001),
-         length = -segLen(rectangleSegmentA001)
-         tag = $rectangleSegmentC001,
-       )
-    |> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])

+Prefer to use [`TaggedEdge`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TaggedEdge) or [`TaggedFace`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TaggedFace). For more details on tags, see the docs for [`TagDecl`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-TagDecl).
