The current workaround was to put the Tags in the description. So, adding this feature could cause the Tags to be "somehow shown twice".

Fortunately I'm one of the affected users. As stakeholder I can say: I still would love to have these Tags shown and I don't care about this potential graphical duplication, since the solution is to just simplify the description.

I don't know if this should be a Feature Requests

I start setting UX since having a Tags field that is not shown in the supposed place usually creates confusion, and not just to newcomers. I can confirm this is especially true in the organization I work, since we have 200+ repositories, tagged, but - without a Description - no repository helps in quickly finding the related Project, the related documentation, so, high quality follow-ups and bug-reports are not encouraged.

I think this is a Good Starter Task...

Which exact page(s) is this ticket about?

Going to e.g. https://we.phorge.it/source/diagrams/ I see both the description and tags rendered - is that a "repo's main page"?
Going to e.g. https://we.phorge.it/diffusion/ I see the tags rendered per repository entry but no description.

Eh :) Now you see Tags because somebody has put them in the Description as workaround, to show them.

Edited: I removed an unrelated comment about the Description. And an unrelated Diff about the README position (that it's not the Description).

(From Task description)

In diffusion repositories, Description and tags are hard to find or never shown (only show in Manage page).

The Description "is easy to find" when specified. It's just empty as default. And anyway it only appears in the repo homepage.

So I think the Description itself is maybe OK, and out of the scope of this Task.
