#i dont know if this is common knowledge or not

If you want to go through a tag page without manually typing in /tagged/whatever into the url, there is a way to do it with the tumblr search bar. All you have to do is add a hashtag (#) before what you search for, and it will look for the tag only instead of looking for the phrase in the post content. For example, here is what happens when I search for my username, “hendrixrph” (using that as an example because there aren’t many results):

About 7 results, and three of them just mention me without tagging me. On the other hand, this is what I get if I search for “#hendrixrph”:

Those three without the tag were removed. Still doesn’t fix the tag tracking issue, but this may alleviate frustration when you want to look at a tag. It’s a few less characters to type.
