Following on from other post which is closed
The topic tag meta description has stopped working, basically when I update the topics description it doesn’t update the meta description.
Old ones are working fine
https://www.carptalk.org/tag/Ridgemonkey
new topics stay as “topics tagged xxxxx”
can anyone help?
I’ve just had a quick repro attempt on my test site but the new tag + description onebox is working for me. But… I have been lazy and not updated for awhile (1a5377cf93).
Let me update and try again, and then if it doesn’t work on a second test then we can at least rifle through the intervening commits and maybe narrow down if something has happened in the interim. 
After updating (8f89e287d3) and attempting again (both with an existing tag + new description as well as a new tag + description) it all seems to be working fine. The tag link oneboxes on another site with the tag description included.
@Damian_Boon Is this happening for all of your new tag descriptions or only some?
Whats your site so i can test?
I’m afraid my ‘test site’ is now my family site, so it’s not public (I briefly toggled off login required for this test).
But here’s a screenshot of the tag links copied over to a friend’s test site to check:
And an extra one copying over your tag description in case there was something specific with that:
Let’s test this out here on meta. The completed tag has a description which should show up in a onebox below.
The tag onebox for completed isn’t showing for me here either I am not sure why. Same thing for release-notes apparently. Also has a description.
https://meta.discourse.org/tag/release-notes
Adding /latest seems to get us closer but an error is shown in the composer preview:
Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the following oEmbed / OpenGraph tags could not be found: image, title
Still doesn’t display as a onebox.
Dit is mijn probleem, het is al maanden kapot en ik kan niemand vinden die ernaar wil kijken of een van de teams die erop wil reageren
OK, great! So it appears there are some replicable problems here which is good. That will help engineers hopefully with finding the source of the problem!
I am moving this to Bug and slapping staff-experience on it so the staff experience team can take a look when they get a chance.
“Korda” tag on carptalk.org works correctly - the onebox description is the same as the description you see when you visit the page. https://forum.carptalk.org/tag/Korda
“Horcott-lakes” does not work correctly - the onebox description is the default, as though there is no description specified. But when you visit the page you see the description is specified. On that page though the meta description does not correctly show the description but rather <meta name="description" content="Topics tagged horcott-lakes"> . https://forum.carptalk.org/tag/horcott-lakes
Here on meta none of the tag oneboxes we’ve tried is working at all here in this topic - just the URL is displaying. e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/tag/release-notes has a description that you can see on the page.
The expected behavior is that in all these cases the onebox will show and also contain the description specified for the tag.
Correct, maar ik zie niet in waarom we geen 2 opties kunnen hebben op de tag-bewerkingspagina - één voor Meta Titel en één voor Meta beschrijving - hetzelfde voor categorieën. Ik kan bewijzen dat we maandelijks meer dan 100.000 unieke bezoekers zouden mislopen qua verkeer, alle discourse-gebruikers zouden hiervan profiteren en een enorme verkeersstijging zien, aangezien tags enkele van de belangrijkste zijn wanneer gebruikers googelen. Mijn andere site die ik je heb laten zien, heeft letterlijk geen h1-tag of tekst op de pagina (alleen lijsten met resultaten) op de tags en genereert 20.000+ unieke bezoekers per maand.
Ik geloof je, maar we moeten hier kleine stapjes zetten. Laten we voor dit onderwerp werken aan het identificeren of er een bug is in de bestaande tagbeschrijvingsfunctionaliteit en proberen die op te lossen.
