Reasons for excluding repo from Hacktoberfest event

Question

Body

I have created a repo for Hacktoberfest 2023 based on an annotation part of my NLP research related to the Sinhala language. Several contributors had already contributed to that repo, and the pull request they completed had shown in their Hacktoberfest profiles with a 7-day waiting period. But yesterday I knew the repo was excluded from the Hacktoberfest event.

This is the repo - https://github.com/DininduChamikara/Annotated-Corpus-Collection-Hacktoberfest

I need to know,
1. What is the reason for excluding the repo?
2. Can I get back the repo to the Hacktoberfest event and how?

Thank you.

It's possibly due to your repo not having the 'hacktoberfest' tag.

[DininduChamikara]

My repo has the tag. Thanks for replying.

how to create that tag?

[DininduChamikara]

how to create that tag?

1. Go to your repo
2. In right side there is a about section and click on the settings icon on that about section.
3. Add required Tags as Topics.
