Post in forum #265727 - [Announcement] Tag categories for existing tags can no longer be changed via metatag

MagnusEffect said:
I've recently created two tags ending in _(character), one of which I'm 95% sure I didn't attempt metatag use for, and both came out as character tags.
I assumed there's some form of automation for tags containing certain text.

There is no automatic tag type changing. The tag likely existed in the past and had the type changed then, but was sitting at zero posts.
