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.
