Tags and variants
Challenge tags
Tags are labels that categorize challenges and help with filtering and discoverability. A tag has:
- Name — the label shown/searched.
- Icon — a Lucide icon.
Manage tags at https://core.mlhtools.com/resources/challenge_tags, and attach
them to a challenge with the Tags field on the challenge form. You can create a
new tag from the challenge form or the tags resource.
Challenge variants
A variant is an alternate name for a challenge. Variants exist so that searches match a challenge even by an old or alternate name — the search matches both the challenge's primary name and its variant names.
Variants are created automatically when you merge a Third Party challenge into another: the merged challenge's name is added as a variant of the target (see Manage a challenge → Merge). Each variant name is unique and can't be the same as an existing challenge's name.
