Nevermind. I was confused because admin page said "The Tag Maker" add-on was incompatible and disabled, but it was actually active in my Bitbucket 4.7.1 installation, and I confused it with your implementation. (I should probably file a bug!) The tags UI that you've done is very minimal and nice. Thank you.

If you really wanted to hammer home the distinction between annotated and non-annotated, one idea would be to dynamically adjust the submit button so that it toggles between <Create Tag> and <Create Annotated Tag> based on whether the "description" box has any content or not. That could help users understand what's going on a little more deeply.

(Frankly the whole "annotated" vs. "lightweight" tag thing in Git is a pointless distraction and a design flaw from a usability point of view, but it is what it is, and we have to live with it.)

I am from the design team on Bitbucket Server, could you expand on why specifically a checkbox? The current behaviour of creating a tag is that if you type anything into the description, it will automatically become an annotated tag.

A checkbox to toggle whether tag is annotated or not would be nice.

Bitbucket Server 4.7.1 has been released today and allows users to create and delete tags: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BitbucketServer/Bitbucket+Server+4.7+release+notes

Yes please! I like to do this for release branches, once the release is complete and stable.
