Here ([Add Title and Description to Tags - #17 by sam](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-title-and-description-to-tags/125187/17)), it is suggested that we can go through each tag and update its description one by one.
However, the server suggests that the patch route for "/tag/{name}’ does not exists. Is there a workaround to this?

You can `PUT` on `/tag/{name}` with a body of something like `{ tag: { description: "The Tag Description" } }`.
