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.
