A quick way IMO would be to put a couple of sentences on this in the Tags section of the Admin Settings describing the restrictions around tag names.

And, perhaps a warning in the Discourse Tags guide ([Admin guide to tags in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-comprehensive-guide-to-discourse-tags/121041))
