  • It happens with 'This tag ' or if you start the entry with the name of the tag itself. Is there a list of these we-wont-show-this phrases?

Er, ok, so it's a handful of patterns that are removed to try and reduce the amount of repetitious text on the tags page. You can find all the gritty details in New tags page mangles tag wiki excerpts

If it doesn't look right, re-work the tag excerpt wording a bit.
