I wanted to tag this post with the “Health” tag, but while tagging it with any other tag was possible, trying to use this tag bugged out, i.e. the action timed out or something, and the tag wasn’t applied.
We had a bit of discussion in the tagger Slack about it. It mostly felt like it was better captured by some more specific tags, and it ended up without many posts in it after existing for multiple weeks. A lot of stuff was better captured by well-being, or longevity, or productivity, and then what was left didn’t seem above critical mass for having its own tag, though totally plausible we should have one if we get more health-related posts on the site (or if someone wants to put in the effort to actually find all of them and curate them, in which case people should feel free to create one again).
I think I’ve found another small Less Wrong bug:

The “Health” tag is not listed on the Concepts Portal tag page.
Using Less Wrong’s search functionality to search for Health shows this:
And that Health link leads to this page (the URL contains a “health-1” for some reason), which causes a 404 error.
In conclusion, some parts of the website think the Health tag exists, and other parts think it doesn’t exist.
Oh, I bet we deleted the health tag, but didn’t properly delete it from our search index. Will remove it from the search index.
Why was the health tag deleted?
