Why can't open link for .java tag?

Question

When I click on .java tag on this question it redirect to link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/.java but can not open it. Shows error: OOOPS!! The link is broken.

One more thing moderators should merge java and .java tags.

That's because it's tagged .java and not java. OP probably made a mistake when tagging the question. I've retagged it.

Yes I know but why System allows .java tag if it can not build a link with . in it. The user do not have that much reputation to create new tags that means this tag is an old one.

Only the tag page itself doesn't work. All the other pages work : Info, Tag Wiki, Top Users. Only 1 question with that tag exists. Users with high rep on that tag suggest a synonym or merge it, I suppose
