[Feature Request] Update the filename of tag page when renaming a tag.

yan42685 opened this issue · comments

Currently, only the Aliases frontmatter is updated when renaming a tag.

There is no inherent link between a note's title and what tag it's a tag page for. A note can in fact be the tag page for multiple tags, so there would be no way to determine what its name should be.

What advantages come from connecting a tag page to several tags? It seems counterintuitive for users. If I'm not mistaken, most users will open a tag page by alt-clicking a tag to see all notes with that single tag, rather than notes with different tags. When I really need to view notes with several tags, I prefer to make it by searching or dataview instead of changing the semantic meaning of a "tag page" by gathering notes with different tags together, which may cause inconsistency.

Under such a convention, maybe it will be better to think a tag page only contains notes of that tag by default.

That's certainly one way to use tag pages. If one is using tag pages not to search for other notes, but instead to document the concept(s) or uses of the tags, there are certainly uses. For example, if you have some tags that are stages in a workflow then you might want a note describing the workflow to be the tag page for all the tags involved, rather than having separate ones for each.

That makes sense, I understand now. Thank you for the clarification :)
