Does having a “period” at the beginning of a tag cause an error when tag is clicked on?

On my technical community we have one tag that was probably created before punctuation started to be stripped from new tags. Now I am not able to click on the tag and see a list of all the topics with it. I would like to update this tag so our team no longer gets an error. Right now though I can’t figure out how to see all the topics. When I use the advanced search it only picks up around 50 topics. The tag has over 1100 topics associated so I know that isn’t right.
