Tag pages are great, but using them seems to require dropping plugins and theme components as most are built to work on categories.

This could be an issue for individual developers to solve, but as discourse appears to use a completely different router/controller for tags vs categories, it would require a fair bit of re-wiring for all of them, so I wondered if it was an issue the team might be interested in resolving in the core.

If those plugins could see tag-pages as categories it would extend functionality of tag-pages massively, either instantly, or with a small tweak from their authors
