Shows the tag scores and per-tag post counts for a given user, with the top 9 tags _by non-CW post count_ selected for showing on the profile page, then ordered by tag score. The top six of these actually make it to the profile page. There are parameters to alter the post-count cutoff point and a flag to enable counting Community Wiki posts in the per-tag post counts. The defaults for these are what is actually used, but playing with these settings can help understanding the algorithm better.
