Where did the tag info button go?

Good find! that plugin reuses a component but doesn’t have the same data available… this will hide the button:

Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-did-the-tag-info-button-go/402…436/9 When the `Navigation` component gets reused in a different context, like in the [ActivityPub plugin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub) we need to check for `toggleTagInfo` which lives in the `discovery/list.js` controller — otherwise it's assumed that `toggleTagInfo` is present and the tag-info button appears and does not function. So in core nothing will change, but in customizations that reuse the `Navigation` component, authors will have to decide to explicitly show the button.
