Topic: Removing underscore tags

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Sometimes I make a typo whilst tagging. Usually this is quickly resolved, correcting the typo and removing the litter.
However, when I accidentally leave a space between a tag that has an underscore, it leaves two tags: the separated tag, and another separated tag with an underscore attached to it. I tried removing those tags with underscores attached to them, but they refuse to disappear.
Any particular reason why the system does this, and how to fix it?

I tried both deleting the entire tag, and doubling the tags by attaching the missing tag part to the one with the underscore. Both failed.

Server seems fucky about it, I tried removing it, and all the tags(Added them back, _submerged still persisted when all were removed though). :x

I think it has something to do with it trying to find duplicate tags and removing them.

TIME TO POKE THE API!
Yeah it ain't going anywhere unless a admin removes it. Even tried modifying the old_tags parameter.

I just wanted to let everyone know that this is a temporary bug caused by the tag cleanup code introduced in the last update (which attempts to remove excess underscores and related characters). I have a fix for it ready but it might take a couple days to get it to live.

You may be able to get them off by playing with the number of umderscores, but otherwise they are safe to ignore.

Was it just post #825183 that you were having this trouble with? If so, I got it off for you.

Yes it was, and thank you.
I had it with another post as well, but can't remember anymore.
