I misread this, I didn't realize MZMcBride is talking about RecentChanges. How unreasonable would it be to call ChangeTag::AddTags('mobile', $rc_id); for mobile edits? On first blush, the only major consequences is extracting the data since it'd be buried in a ts_tags blob?Why would you look at ts_tags? change_tag table is much easier to pull out as it uses a more normalized layout.
True, sorry, I didn't look closely enough to realize that tag_summary is denormalized change_tag.
However, this doesn't deal with the problem that [[Special:Tags]] will get cluttered with this approach. It might work for a "mobileedit" tag, but valid_tag cannot grow arbitrarily.
