I have a group of tags that has the option “Tags are visible only to staff” enabled. Still, this group is shown on /tags for everyone - at least when site setting “site tags listed by group” is enabled.
AI-generated summary
A user, Krischan, reported an issue where tags marked as “visible only to staff” are shown on the /tags page for everyone, when the site setting “site tags listed by group” is enabled. Neil couldn’t reproduce the issue at first, but after Krischan provided more details, including their Discourse version (v2.3.0.beta9 +26) and screenshots, Neil was able to reproduce the issue by adding the restricted tag group to a category’s restricted tag groups. Neil then fixed the problem with a commit: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f8f7091e5716305adfb9d45cd625b8d8d82b48ed.
I can’t reproduce this with the latest code. What version are you running?

I tested on that commit, and still can’t reproduce it. Can you share more about your setup?

Did you add the “Intern” tag group to a category’s restricted tag groups? I can reproduce the problem by doing that. Since only staff can use these tags, it’s pointless to try to restrict them to a category.

Thanks! But what if a category should have a limited set of public tags and also allow the team to use the internal ones? If I leave the internal ones out, then I need to “allow other tags”. But then the public set is not limited. Or did I get something wrong?

Oh yeah, that makes sense. This should fix the problem:
