Bug Description
The tags from the “Wish & Bug statuses” family seem to have limited view permissions. Anonymous users and many registered users don’t get the full list of topics using these tags.
Reproduction Steps
- Log out from Backstage and go to Topics tagged declined
Expected: user sees a list of 28 topics using this tag right now.
Actually: anonymous users don’t see any topics. Registered might see none or only a few (? maybe based on previous visits?)
There seems to a problem with the view permissions of the “Wish & Bug statuses” tag family.
Occurrence
Bug is reproducible always.

Mmm… maybe there is a problem with the configuration of the site? There are dozens of declined wishes. I’ll report a bug later, but in the meantime, see this screenshot:
This link seems to be the best way to get an overview of all declined wishes at the moment until Discourse fixes their problem

Ah yeah - I’m only seeing one!
I think I know what the problem is but I need to go away from keyboard for a bit. I will report a bug and, if it is what I think it is, it could be fixed today. Thank you @dan.apeks, this is one of those problems that moderators may miss because of… moderators’ special permissions.
I will also move these comments to the bug report. Please keep discussing Tracker stuff.
Hey all, I can’t see anything wrong with permissions, it is set that Everyone can see “Wish & Bug statuses” tag. Maybe someone else can figure out what’s wrong. Thanks for reporting!
Ah, maybe it is because the #wishlist:archive category seems to be muted by default? (this could have been me when Backstage was an internal prototype)
I’m hitting other little problems due to the fact that #wishlist:archive is muted by default. #declined wishes disappear from the user timeline even when they had read them before unless they are following them. This adds to the confusion.
Can #wishlist:archive be unmuted, please? There is a setting “default categories muted”. When changing the categories, Discourse asks whether the changes need to be applied to all users. In this case, a Yes would be justified, to make the category visible for everyone.
Done! Thanks @icaria36 , I think this worked!
