It would appear an update was made network wide on tags and it has affected some sites that are graduated with tags that were not typically a default squared tag:
Graphic Design SE, in the design you can see the tags were rounded but now they are square:
Workplace SE in the design is rounded as well, but the update makes them square:
Travel had a nice tag design but now it seems to have defaulted:
Would this be considered a bug or is this how they are going to appear from now on?
This was an oversight. We're exploring some potential updates to the tag editor and the experimental styling ended up bleeding into the rest of the site by accident.
Fix is rolling out now.
I would prefer the following change:
For sites with the "temporary design", keep them squared.
For sites with their own design, DON'T SQUARE THEM! Designers would have alerady squared them if they wanted to, don't force them to square the tags.
Yes, I shout for freedom. Freedom means that you are free to do whatever you want with the design, including the tags. The tags are a part of the site, and they show something about it. Today, I SUDDENLY [can't stress that enough] saw SQUARE tags. "Tags are...roundsquare..." was my initial thought when I saw this. And it spread to other sites as well! My next thought was "The tag design is 100% freesquare".
This seems to be by design, but we can fix that...
In a user script, change the border radius from 2 pixels to 15 pixels:
.post-tag { border-radius: 15px; }
Et voila:
Note that the rounded tags are still present in the mobile website.
