Tags create/edit/delete hooks in wordpress

I need hooks if tags have removed, created and edited. I have not found them in the WordPress Codex / Function Reference.

For categories:

edit_category
create_category
delete_category

Has anyone encountered this problem?

You can use these action hooks that you can find in the Wordpress Codex:

To know taxonomy Action Hooks and Filter Hooks, can go to this link

For this case, you can use different Action Hooks:

Fired after cache has been cleaned. To execute before cache has been cleaned use create_{$taxonomy} action hook

add_action( "created_*your_taxonomy*", "fired_on_created_term_of_taxonomy", 10, 3 );
function fired_on_created_term_of_taxonomy( $term_id, $taxonomy_id, $args ){...}

This hook is fired before term cache has been cleaned. (For example: if in your function execute get_term($term_id) you're going to have old term, not the updated term data)

add_action( "edit_example_taxonomy", "fired_on_edit_term_of_taxonomy", 10, 3 );
function fired_on_edit_term_of_taxonomy( $term_id, $taxonomy_id, $args ){...}

This hook is very similar to hook before, but for example, you execute get_term($term_id) in the fired function, you're going to have the updated term

add_action( "edited_example_taxonomy", "fired_on_edited_term_of_taxonomy", 10, 3 );
function fired_on_edited_term_of_taxonomy( $term_id, $taxonomy_id, $args ){...}

Fired on delete term of taxonomy

add_action( "delete_example_taxonomy", "fired_on_delete_term_of_taxonomy", 10, 4 );
function fired_on_delete_term_of_taxonomy( $term_id, $taxonomy_id, $deleted_term, $object_ids ){...}

To explicitly target tags, you'll need create_$taxonomy, edit_$taxonomy and delete_$taxonomy where $taxonomy is post_tag (ie create_post_tag, edit_post_tag and delete_post_tag). They're mentioned in passing in (eg) the wp_insert_term.

Tags are a taxonomy, so the generic actions create_term, edit_term, and delete_term would work as well, though they'll also fire for other taxonomies (such as categories).

You need to use dynamic hooks to taxonomies:

edit_post_tag

create_post_tag

delete_post_tag
