AI-generated summary
alltiagocom is experiencing an issue where some tags in their Discourse forum display a # symbol while others do not. pfaffman and Moin suggest potential causes, such as the number of topics associated with the tag or the use of tag icons. alltiagocom clarifies that tags without a # have no associated topics, but this doesn’t explain the inconsistency. Moin also suggests checking if the # disappears in safe mode or if the tags are properly configured in the component settings. alltiagocom confirms that the issue was due to improper tag configuration in the component settings and expresses interest in creating a component to automatically add the # symbol to tags.
Do those without a number have only one?
All tags that have no number, have no topics associated with them.
You can see that the news-danny-wyatt has a topic associated with it and has no #, but for example I tried adding some of the tags with # to a test topic and that doesn’t change:
At first I thought it was related to some having a tag description, because there was some pattern, but after opening all of them, that’s not the case.
Didn’t know about this feature. Will definitely save it to my notes. Thanks!
That was the issue, yes! 
Thank you so much! 
Since I just use the hashtag symbol, I will probably create a component that does that automatically so I don’t have to think about it when adding new tags.
