Periods in tags have been disallowed for a while now. You can fix it via the rails console:

ssh in to your server, then:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
tag = Tag.find_by_name("circle.yml")

```

**If you want to fix it** , take the `id` returned from the above and substitute it into the `??` below. `NEWNAME` is whatever you want the fixed tag to be called.

```plaintext
Tag.where(id: ??).update(name: "NEWNAME")

```

Alternatively **if you just want to destroy the tag** click the text below, I’ve blurred it as some users have a habit of pasting blindly:

```plaintext
tag.destroy

```

edit:

Looks like these tags are also broken:

[2.0](https://discuss.circleci.com/tag/2.0)  
[php7.1](https://discuss.circleci.com/tag/php7.1)  
[.net](https://discuss.circleci.com/tag/.net)
