The version with yoursite.com/tag/id-tagname (or unofficial yoursite.com/tag/id) comes from "old routing" before PR #11166, which was added in Joomla 3.7.0.

yoursite.com/tag/tagname is supported from J3.7.0.

  1. Joomla could add a button in component tags to disable "old routing" and returns 404,
    • maybe modern routing could be implemented
  2. Or someone can add canonical URLs as similar as in #18341

We should be adding canonical URLs for tags (and for most content Joomla displays). Joomla has created a big SEO mess by allowing the same content to be accessed by different URLs.

I was hoping this would be fixed with the new routing system and of course it was not. It's nice they added the ability to remove ids from URLs but for existing sites to enable this feature, it creates duplicate content. Google does not like duplicate content and may rank the pages lower. For more information see: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en
