Hello, this is a question. I’m using the content-api. Just created a few tags (not associated with any post), and tried to fetch them.: ```auto ghostBlogApi.tags.browse({ limit: 'all' }); ``` However, I get none of the tags I created. Does the content api only fetch tags related to posts? - What version of Ghost are you using? 2.18.1 ---

This is because after creating a new tag and the page, one may want to include it in the navigation for testing purposes (design-tab in the Ghost admin panel) before the initial post with this tag has even been published. Currently it will just return a 404 error although the post collection page should already exist. I believe thus that this is a bug. > > I think the older behaviour with Ghost rendering an empty tag page is the way to go but this is just my opinion.
