The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Alphanumeric restriction on tags is too restrictive
The function of tags in Patron list would be expected to allow a user to tag people with appropriate details. To restrict the usage to only alphanumeric characters means a user cannot use tags like "history of irresponsible borrowing" or "reliable and on the ball", or have tags with numerical details like "reading score of 78", which are valid use cases of tags.

Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Book tags currently do not support multiple words. Category-indicating words like "Computer Science" are put as "ComputerScience". This restricts the use of tags in practical settings, with examples like "Science and technology" becoming hard to read.
