There are tags displaying on the tags page which aren’t appearing in the tags dropdown or search. [image] One example (of many) here on Meta is bug

This is because of site setting max tags in filter list which defaults to 30. The description of the site setting is: Maximum number of tags to show in the filter dropdown. The most used tags will be shown. I just increased that setting to 100 here on Meta and bug is appearing in dropdown now.

If that is the case, this is not a bug @hawk .

what we could do though is making this component make ajax request if filtering doesnt return anything. Or apply filtering on the full list even if we only show a partial list in the first place.

Is this still the case? We should at least hint at the existence of more tags at the bottom with more … or similar.

@codinghorror long time ago I implemented this: [Bild] j.jaffeux: Or apply filtering on the full list even if we only show a partial list in the first place. It is however true, that you have to filter to find it, and nothing hints you that there are more than the displayed list. Do you stil…

Yes – I think there should be some kind of visual hint that “ah, there is more here, not just the visible items”.. whatever is easy.

On second thought, I don’t think I can do this, at least not with a perf hit. If we limit the tags displayed it’s basically to not have to fetch (or even count) all tags. So the only thing I know is if we have less displayed tags than the max setting, but I have no way to know if we have more tags …

[Bild] j.jaffeux: because in this case: displayed === max. A trick I commonly use, have the backend always return max+1 rows, only display max. If +1 exists you have more.

Cool trick thanks :+1: That should do it: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12649 [Capture d’écran 2021-04-08 à 10.15.42]

Ist das immer noch der Fall? Wir sollten zumindest am Ende einen Hinweis auf die Existenz weiterer Tags mit mehr … oder Ähnlichem geben.
