Typos should be automatically corrected during tag autocompletion. If your tag has a typo and no completions can be found, then autocomplete should list tags similar to what you typed. It's possible to do this easily and efficiently with a fuzzy string search using Postgres' builtin trigram operators.

I raised this idea in #3352. I think typos when adding tags could often be avoided if they were caught at the autocomplete stage. Not to mention how useful autocorrect would be for searches in general.
