Renaming a tag without breaking old links

Question

We want to rename the bugs tag to known issues but are worried it will break any bookmarked filter URLs.

Demo Team · Answer

Safe to rename, tag filter URLs are keyed by the tag id, not its slug, so a rename does not break any bookmarked or shared links.
