Apparently dnd-next was the working name of the project.
All of the branding simply shows it as "D&D":
" while there are some open questions still, this is concrete news that Dungeons & Dragons (no longer Next, or even 5e, just Dungeons & Dragons) is coming soon."
... So do we tag it as 5e, or retain "next" or what?
According to this:
We have:
... and apparently "ampersand":
I vote for dnd-5e, as that's what it is, and there's no way to confuse it. A year from now, people might not know it was ever "Next".
Oh, it was the same thing with 4e. The books don't say 4e; it was branded as simply "D&D," but that didn't fool anyone. We had maybe a couple people show up here and mis-tag and they were corrected and the world went on.
We don't need to do anything, just alias dnd-5e to dnd-next, and it'll all work out fine. It'll only be not known as "D&D Next" to those who have never ventured onto the internet prior to coming here to RPG.SE.
Early press shows that though they're going for the generic D&D branding, Gen Con for example is referring to it as 5e. I think we can wait and see whether 5e or Next is more common at launch, use that, synonym the other, done.
When a company pulls a stupid and gives a game an ambiguous name, you can always count on the player community coming up with an unambiguous moniker so that communication remains possible.
And because for tag-naming purposes we always defer to the player community's naming conventions, we have nothing to worry about. We'll tag it whatever the community calls it, probably "D&D 5e" (most likely) or "D&D 5th" (less likely but maybe), so dnd-5e or dnd-5th.
I'm putting this out here as a solution, just so we can judge its merits. I'd likely downvote this myself though.
Migrate our current dungeons-and-dragons to dnd-all-editions and synonymize dnd-5e and dnd-next to dungeons-and-dragons, which merely leaves the problem of how to integrate dungeons-and-dragons-module-x into the problem.
