How can we repair a tag count which is appearing without a name?

AI-generated summary

A mysterious “x4” tag count is appearing on the tags page without a name attached. nplanchon has noticed that this issue only occurs when logged in as a regular user, not as an admin. They provided several screenshots to illustrate the issue.

nplanchon and nplanchon shared additional screenshots showing the issue in different sorting orders.

Merefield suggested checking the HTML source view for an illegal character in the name, while JammyDodger discovered a CSS rule that hides the “featured” tag from non-staff users.

Merefield hypothesized that the Homepage Feature Component might be causing the issue. Disabling a specific setting in this component could potentially resolve the problem.

Hello… We noticed what appears to be an anomaly on our tags page. A tag count “x4” without a name attached to it. See image attached.

I also noticed that “x4” appears without being logged in, when I am logged in as a regular user and is NOT there when I am logged in as an Admin.

What is causing this and how can we repair that?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

here is another screen capture which might offer a clue as it appears that the layout is buggy :person_shrugging:

and sorted by name

interesting, could you supply the html source view? Perhaps there’s an illegal character in the name?

Checking the browser console for https://forum.ic.org/tags, it looks like it’s the ‘featured’ tag, and it has this rule:

body:not(.staff) .tag-drop li[data-name="featured"], body:not(.staff) [data-tag-name="featured"] {
  display: none;

Do you have a stray theme component?

Could it be the Homepage Feature Component - theme - Discourse Meta hiding the tag?

This is one of the settings:

Just disable this setting?
