Topic tags not working as explained

[FriendlyTroll]

Hi, firstly thanks a lot for this plugin!

Now, the docs here https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag#topic explain that one can show tags with this syntax

{{topic>ns1?tag1 tag2}}
{{topic>.?tag1 tag2}}

However this isn't working for me. I checked and the tags definitely exist so does the namespace. What works is this

{{topic>mynamespace:tag1 mynamespace:tag2}}

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is really a bug, so I am writing here.

System Info:
Dokuwiki version Release 2020-07-29 "Hogfather" on buntu 18.04.5 LTS

For me {{topic>test?tag1}} works. With pages in 'test' that has the 'tag1' tag.

Using Igor with latest version of tag plugin.

Okay, it seems to work but not how I expected it. My tags are actually namespaced, so for example I have a page taged like
{{tag>myns1:ssl}}

What I thought the plugin will do then, is list these pages if I use the following
{{topic>myns1?ssl}}
which it won't. It will work with the namespace like this
{{topic>myns1?myns1:ssl}}

Which is kind of confusing but that's just me I guess.

I get what you mean.

{{topic>page_namespace?tag_namespace:tag1}}
If you set page_namespace, you request a search for pages which must be located in page_namespace, that has the tags set after the question mark. If that tag has own namespace e.g. tag_namespace, you have to add that namespace.

{{topic>books?status:lent}} makes list of pages e.g. books:snowwhite, books:dwarf, etc which were marked as 'lent'.

I'm wondering, which syntax could be sufficient for your wanted way of searching.
I think now something like:
Proposal: {{tag>myns1:}}, where you fill in only the namespace with semicolon.
Show any page with status tag: {{tag>status:}}, which will return pages with the tags 'status:lent', 'status:available', 'status:repair' etc.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess current modus operandi is fine, though I think a clear example should be put in the plugin's wiki page.
