Hi,

I thought creating a tag list is done in a few minutes, but right now I’m trying to find out why some tags are missing.

My code is:

```auto
{{ $count := 0 }}
<ul>
{{- range $name, $taxonomy := .Site.Taxonomies.tag }}
	<li>{{ $name }} ({{ .Count }})</li>
	{{ $count = add $count 1 }}
{{ end }}
</ul>
Number of tags: {{ $count }}

```

The code is placed in a shortcode and should display a list of the tags used on the site.

Output of the script is

> Number of tags: 666

but when I look at the “public/tag” directory, I see 672 folders. Doing some manual comparison, I found that eg. “public/tag/w.a.s.p.” is indeed created as folder (and accessible from the browser), links to 4 pages but is missing in the list created by the code shown above.

Does anybody have a hint what’s going wrong?

You are running into this bug:  
[https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/10475](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/10475)

You can work around it…

content/posts/post-1.md

```plaintext
+++
title = 'Post 1'
tag = ['wasp'] # no periods
+++

```

Then create the term page:

```plaintext
hugo new tag/wasp/_index.md

```

content/tag/wasp/\_index.md

```plaintext
+++
title = 'w.a.s.p.'
+++

```

Then use the term page `.LinkTitle` instead of the term name:

```plaintext
{{ $count := 0 }}
<ul>
  {{- range $name, $taxonomy := .Site.Taxonomies.tag }}
    <li>{{ .Page.LinkTitle}} ({{ .Count }})</li>
    {{ $count = add $count 1 }}
  {{ end }}
</ul>
Number of tags: {{ $count }}

```
