Renaming a tag to an existing one fails silently
If I try to rename a tag to an existing one it silently fails. Example: trying to rename [data-archiving](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/5336#) to `archiving` fails with console error only:

 > application-f4dc10c11dc65439a992f7c98cb554bfbc419e710e5a5267f5048e7cb1f8794f.js:37 Failed to rename tag, somehow

Not allowing duplicate tags is OK, but it would be nice to also display a meaningful error message for the end-user.
