The "Preview final tags" button is a godsend for this exact reason.

Though it is really difficult to find what tags are forcing a particular tag on. Only the tags on the post are listed alphabetically with the arrow pointing to what they imply; it's designed to see what tags are implying, not what specific tag is getting implied. So if you're trying to find out what's causing animal_genitalia to be tagged, you can't look where the "animal_genitalia" is sorted alphabetically to then also see what's implying it (you'd just see animal_genitalia => genitalia, not very helpful), you have to look through each tag to find what's pointing to "animal_genitalia". In this case, rather than seeing animal_genitalia <= sheath listed where "animal_genitalia" would fit alphabetically, you have to stumble on to sheath => animal_genitalia where "sheath" fits alphabetically in a completely different area. Then repeat to see if what's implying sheath if you think that shouldn't be tagged either. Then hope there isn't another tag implying them that you didn't notice.

That list is also sorted very oddly, rather than being vertically or horizontally sorted, it's arranged vertically in 4x15 blocks with each sub-column aligned horizontally, so you get

0  16 31 46
1  17 32 47
...
14 29 44 69
15 30 45 70
71 86  101 161
72 87  102 162
...
84 99  159 174
85 100 160 175

making it even harder to look through to find what you're looking for.

Sure, which will look for all instances of the tag on the page, including the tag list next to the image, the edit box if the tag is still there, and anywhere else the same word(s) appear (some more common words appearing more often on a page). It's very inconvenient.
