Where did the tag info button go?

There used to be a button next to the new topic button on the topic list filtered for a tag.

frontend/discourse/app/components/d-navigation.gjs

08484ffbc


      
          <DButton
            @icon={{if this.currentUser.canEditTags "wrench" "circle-info"}}
            @ariaLabel={{if
              this.currentUser.canEditTags
              "tagging.edit"
              "tagging.info"
            }}
            @title={{if
              this.currentUser.canEditTags
              "tagging.edit"
              "tagging.info"
            }}
            @action={{this.toggleInfo}}
            id="show-tag-info"
            class="btn-default"
          />

But I can no longer find it.

I can only see the wrench when I am admin. Where do I find the description and information on usage as a user now? I know there is the tag banner component, but that doesn’t provide information on usage like the button did (and obviously I cannot install it to get the information)

looks like it may have been moved in this commit

Yes it was removed when we added a dedicated tag settings page, and I’ve opened a PR to bring back the info button and revamp the old info banner align it with our category banner styles

In 5f0d95e1f11 we added a dedicated tag settings page, but removed some informat…ion for tags that was available to regular visitors. This PR adds an info button back to the UI and revamps that tag information so it's better aligned with our category heading styles. The ℹ️ button also now reflects the state (blue icon = active) and it can persist while navigating between tag routes. There are now some shared styles between the two banners with a new `.discovery-heading` class. <img width="2188" height="502" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b430a694-1f7a-4891-bdde-40276b526aad" /> and the existing category banner, for comparison <img width="2194" height="602" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3fcc6df-78a8-42d0-acc2-a48e69eae6f1" />
