I have this `how-to` tag limited to a certain Category:
And the group is set properly:
But in the Tags window, it also shows under “Other Tags”, which seems to be just duplicating what is already above it:
Is there a way to just show it under “Help & Tips”?

Is there the possibility the tag was already used in a different category before you restricted it to a specific category? That might be worth checking because that can cause this situation.

Here’s what I just tested:
- Created a tag Group with a tag `abc123` (this tag was created in that panel, not via a new topic, so it wasn’t used anywhere else before)
- Went to a category and added the group to the restricted groups:
- Created a new topic, added the tag, and when I refreshed the list of tags, it was only visible under Other Tags, not the “The Community” category:
- Then I tried to add the tag to the restricted tags, and that added it to the “The Community” section, but kept it in the Other Tags as well:
* * *
Then I tried to create a new tag via the composer, using the previous topic I created, directly into the “The Community” category. When to the panel and restricted that new tag to that category as well. That puts it in both sections automatically:
So, it seems that what you mentioned is not the issue here.

Yup, something fishy going on for sure. I’ve done some testing here too and yeah, seems a bit buggy. Thanks for reporting, I’ll let you know when it’s sorted.

Thanks for testing. Good to know it’s not an issue on my end only.
Let me know then. Appreciate it 🙌

I have highlighted it internally, but it doesn’t look like we’ll get to solving it right away. The tag system is quite complicated.
I’m moving this to the #Contribute > Bug category to track it further.

Thank you.
It’s not a big deal, but it would make everything more organized.
Since tags are not something that keep changing, maybe for the time being I can hide it with CSS.
