Is there a way to tag a large of nodes with individual taxonomy terms without having to open each node? This would be a huge, huge time saver.

Example:
Have 400 nodes that need to be tagged with "Europe"
Have 30 nodes that need to be tagged "United Kingdom"
Have 50 nodes that need to be tagged "Asia"

Can I tag all 400 Europe nodes with the taxonomy term "Europe" without opening each node and applying the term?

Thanks in advance...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just finished evaluating Drupal 6 modules that handle this task. This page appeared as one of the top search results so others might land here and find the information below useful.

Taxonomy Node Operations pre-6.x-dev

(download contributed D6 tarball from the issue queue here)

  • Last updated May 22, 2008
  • Module not under active development
  • Adds drop-down options for every taxonomy term on admin/content/node, which is clumsy when you have dozens of terms
  • Single-purpose, no additional steps or prerequisites

Taxonomy Multi Editor 6.x-1.1

  • Last update November 19, 2008
  • Module not under active development
  • Adds only 2 (total) drop-down options to admin/content/node, better when you have dozens of terms
  • Single-purpose, no additional steps or prerequisites

Views Bulk Operations 6.x-1.8

  • Last update September 9, 2009 (stable) / January 29, 2010 (dev)
  • Module under active development
  • General purpose, requires the extra step of creating a View to identify the set of nodes to tag

For the simplest solution in Drupal 6.x, I would recommend Taxonomy Multi Editor. VBO is more flexible but more time-consuming to use. VBO is also the only one under ongoing development and the most likely to be ported to Drupal 7 eventually (though there is no D7 version as of today).

For the record, Taxonomy Manager (mentioned above) does not seem to perform this function, although I only gave it a quick look.
