How do I allow a dash in tag names? was created by kristofferrom
I've got a tag similar to tag-name, but k2 deleted the dash when it's saved. I'm referring to an artist name so it's critical that it's displayed correctly.

Help?!

Use:
∼

So for example

thanks∼Eoin

Would come out as

thanks-Eoin

There's a thank you button around here somewhere.... :)

Good solution even thought ∼ makes a ~ tilde on my site.

But I can't ask my clients to type ∼ between words that require a dash.

Has anyone come up with a override that makes the dash in tags display?

I don't want a tilde in my tags, why can't I have a dash? Seems like it's something that could be easily supported. I want to add a tag for on-premise, it's a dashed word. Tilde won't work.

Same issue here. We need dashes in tags. Why not? Why are they stripped?

Dashes seem to be removed by /administrator/components/com_k2/models/tag.php:79
$tag = str_replace('-', '', $tag);
this too is an issue for me as my client has tags that contain proper names that need the dash. I don't see why they'd be filtered out.

One workaround is to use –

From code.google.com/p/getk2/issues/detail?id=256#c1, it appears this is an issue related to conflicts with Joomla's router.
