TAGS: use of special character (like "%") and numbers

[yLothar]

In my forum I need to be able to manage tags with the name "65%", "60%", etc. but I noticed that:

• the "%" symbol is not saved (not even via ACP)
• if the tag starts with a number it is not suggested

Can you provide reproduction steps for this? Seems to work when I test it on a new topic.

Ahh it might be because there are no topics tagged with 123, does it work if you create a topic with 123 and try to use it again?

@baris you're right, that's it!

What about the problem with special characters instead?

[baris]

Right now % isn't handled properly so it breaks the tag/<tagname> urls that's why it is not allowed. It would require some changes in core and the themes to properly handle that symbol.

Do you think it could be put on the to-do list?
