I am looking at the foreign tag combinations and something is puzzling.

There are tag combinations for Bevissthet.

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Bevissthet

Nothing shows on the page but on consciousness

http://www.librarything.com/tag/consciousness

it is there.

Ditto bevidsthed

http://www.librarything.com/tag/bevidsthed

but Bewusstsein shows nothing

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Bewusstsein

(I thought this might be an es-tset problem but I can't search it.)

As far as I can recall it has always gone both ways in the past.

Edited for typo

1> I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the primary tag (the one it seems to prefer) isn't the one that's being combined. Rather, it's a secondary.

For example:
geitebukkeskjegg has proposed combining this tag and the tag bevissthet.

Note that it's not Bevissthet (capitalized).

I wonder if it's not properly tracking down the linkages.

I'm closing this because I think it's the same as this:

I just checked and these 2 still do not have the tag combinations:

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Bevissthet

and

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Bewusstsein

However what I did notice this time around is that both combinations were to the lower case form of word and the page reads with first letter capped.

For example

page is Bevissthet

combination is bevissthet

Could this be the problem?
