I noticed that /tags/mountains|lakes/ in the photo gallery, which used to show photos tagged with both "mountains" and with "lakes" is now giving a white screen. Is that a bug, or is this feature no longer supported due to performance impact? (I'd like to know if it's the latter, so I can remove the example from my stickied Guide to the site thread in the System Talk forum.
photo gallery: tag intersection no longer working?
I had a brief look into this - it's not an intentional change. Something is going wrong between the nginx proxy and the backend resulting in a 400 error, but it's hard to pinpoint. The rewrite rule is working fine, it's directed to the correct place. But then it's not received and the error is thrown. As this might be a bit of a rabbit hole, I think for now the best is to not promote this easter egg. I think there aren't any links to such URLs in the site anyway and it is almost never used, so it's not a high priority fix.
Ok, removed the link from the guide.
FWIW, it seems to be a URL-encoding issue (of course), as double-encoding (nginx being in the mix gave me the hint to try that) the pipe in the URL does lead to a working page: /tags/mountains%257Clakes/

Huh interesting. Thanks for figuring that out. I've added it to my issue in the tracker.
