AI-generated summary

Users are discussing how to make a hashed tag clickable in posts. meglio initially asked why their tag wasn’t clickable, to which pfaffman suggested using #tag-name::tag and noted that typing a few letters would help the tag match. meglio inquired about the system’s method for distinguishing between tags and categories with the # sign, but still couldn’t get their specific tag to work.

codinghorror hypothesized that the issue might be related to non-ASCII tags, which was supported by Denis_Didkovsky who mentioned that non-English hashtags didn’t work for them either. Denis_Didkovsky also linked to a related meta discussion about patching category mentions to use non-English category names on non-English forums.

I saw somewhere that tags are clickable when in text. But mine is not:

I haven’t found any relevant setting in the “Tags” section in Settings page. Am I missing something?

If it’s not at the beginning of a line, # should give you a selector that will match both topics and tags. If it doesn’t work for some reason, or you are too impatient for them to populate you can use #tag-name::tag.

You probably have to type a few letters before a tag will match. Here I have to type #pr before pr-welcome is suggested and not just categories.

Thanks, so is this the way for the sustem to distinguish between tags and categories when using a # sign?

Also, for some reason, for this particular tag there are no entries in a dropdown box. Adding ::tag suffix manually does not help either:

Any ideas why it does not work?

Maybe it only works for ascii tags?

Non english hashtags didnt worked for us either. Not sure that DS supports nonEnglish htags by design.
