Seems like periods in tag names have since stopped working; see e.g., [https://community.metabrainz.org/tag/musicbrainz.org](https://community.metabrainz.org/tag/musicbrainz.org). We currently have three [tags on our forum](https://community.metabrainz.org/tags) from when periods were allowed in tags names, but since I can’t access their pages anymore, I also can’t rename them to remove the dots. Is there a workaround for this? I tried URL escaping the `.` to `%2E` but this changed nothing.
