Wiki pages as controlled tag vocabulary

I realized tonight (while procrastinating^[1]) that in writing my wiki pages I've been creating a controlled tag vocabulary.

So, if I still have the energy for this after finals are over, I may finally be implementing tags for my weblog and the rest of my site.

(Other things for me to look back on: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

I could have sworn there was some wiki I came across a while back that, in addition to doing the normal "backlinks" thing, created hierarchies out of analyzing the links in its pages. I may be thinking of DiamondWiki (linked in some of those "other things" links above), but I don't think so.

Footnotes:
[1]: I remember reading a while ago a web page by a professor who said he's extremely productive while procrastinating because he uses the time he procrastinates to take care of everything other than what he's procrastinating from doing. If anyone remembers what page I'm referring to, please leave a comment.

I don't know about analysis, but Zwiki builds hierarchy out of the relationship between the page and the page you were on when you created the page. These hierarchies can be edited by you any time after the creation of the page.

Thanks Davd. That's interesting and I didn't realize that, but unfortunately that's not what I was thinking of.
