Today I edited the tag on this question from real-analysis to probability. At present I have low to mid 400 reputation points. According to the privileges sheet I should not be able to do that until I have 500 points. I used an edit link at the bottom of the question. Perhaps this is a bug; perhaps a feature.

2$\begingroup$ Theo's answer really covers your question, but you can also get to this specific page showing the details of your edit as a suggestion that was then approved by another used by clicking the "suggested" link by your name in the revision history of the question. $\endgroup$– IsaacCommented Jun 25, 2011 at 14:31

$\begingroup$ @Isaac: Thanks! I was looking for such a link but couldn't find it. $\endgroup$– t.b.Commented Jun 25, 2011 at 14:33

This is not a bug. As soon as you'll reach 500 reputation points, you will be able to edit tags autonomously, that is: without approval from a user with higher reputation. Full editing privileges will be granted from 2000 reputation points on.
In this specific instance, you suggested an edit to change the tag from real-analysis to probability which was then approved by another user.
There's nothing wrong with that, as far as I can tell.
