[wp-testers] Tags and Labels with the same name

[Dave Jones]

This is by design although I couldn't say exactly why it was decided  
to implement it quite like this.

Tag and categories (in fact all taxonomies, as you can create your  
own) share a single list of terms, so a 'category' of Security and  
'tag' of Security both have links to the 'term' Security. The 'slug'  
is the unique factor - i.e. each term must have a different slug.

So if you want to create two 'Security' terms just give them different  
slugs (e.g. security and security-related).

Best regards
