Tag Names can cause broken links

[JakeGinnivan]

From @tim Hamilton

A good example of this is using C# as a tag. When the tag hyperlink is defined it drops the "#" causing the link to look like: "/tagged/c"
This returns no Entries when there is entries with the tag on it.

Suggest that when a tag is stored it contains a slug field. A unique HTTP link compatible value. It would be this value that would be placed in the tags link.

Example: Display Name: C# Slug: csharp

User Clicks on tag C# link that is passed is "/tagged/csharp"

This would allow user to specify special characters in their tags ie: F#, C#, C++

Keep up the great work MIT560

@JakeGinnivan Not the Tim you're looking for :)

Good idea though. Alternatively you could escape the tag value in the URI, e.g. "/tagged/C%23". Not as pretty, but then you wouldn't need to add a slug field.
