Tag labels appearing haphazardly

I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but I don’t understand the current behaviour just yet.

Looking at the tag intersections page for docker/email, some of the labels aren’t showing up under the topic titles:

However, visiting the offending topics makes their tags appear correctly under the topic title:

There is a site setting to supress the tag if it is inside the title.

suppress overlapping tags in list
If tags match exact words in topic titles, don’t show the tag

I think we should turn that setting off here on meta. I don’t understand when you would ever want this behaviour.

I can see why, tags in title is rather redundant in the big scheme of things… it’s something @sam put in so he should weigh in here.

I am fine to disable it here, just went ahead.

The history of it is:

  1. We never used to show tags in lists
  2. I added tags to list
  3. There were complaints it was too noisy … “docker” “docker” showing everywhere on latest
  4. I added the setting for the suppression
