Recently discussed in the Moldvay question, but this keeps getting hashed out in weird sub-questions so I thought I'd re-ask this more general question somewhere it can be found in the future.
How do we tag questions for the game Dungeons & Dragons, given its long history and many, very different, editions?
Note: If you are not expert on the various D&D editions, refer to
The desired hierarchy, initially hashed out in Proposed tag synonyms for [dnd4.0] but having evolved a little, should be and mostly is already:
dnd-basic was being used inconsistently and often redundantly with dnd-bx and no one was using the right Moldvay tag because it was bx-dnd instead of dnd-bx (I synonymed it). I propose that we either a) make dnd-basic just for Holmes or b) make it a collection of all three Basics, though I am unclear what purpose that would serve. or c) remove it in favor of the three specific tags.
In general you shouldn't overtag - dungeons-and-dragons for instance shouldn't coexist with more specific version tags, it's a halfway step between [system-agnostic] and a specific version and is for questions that cross more than 2 versions (if you just want to compare 3.0 and 3.5, then just tag with the two of those and call it good) or are general and not version specific, but are D&D domain specific.
I would also suggest a [3.X] or [3.PF] tag to refer to games or questions that involve a blending of PF rules and 3.5 rules - not an uncommon thing to happen.
