With D&D 5e's Basic Rules released today I think that we should make 5e the default tag that shows up and make dnd-next the synonym (its the other way around currently).

I concur. We should have as the "real" tag, because "Dungeons & Dragons" is what it's being called, and it's the 5th in this particular edition-numbering series.

Then should be a synonym of , since consensus seems to be to not have a separate tag for the playtest period rules.

    \$\begingroup\$ Internet seems to be referring to it as the 5th edition, and D&D next for obvious historical reasons. \$\endgroup\$ Jul 4, 2014 at 2:02

    \$\begingroup\$ For future readers: per the linked meta, [dnd-next-playtest] did eventually end up getting made as a separate tag from [dnd-5e]. \$\endgroup\$

I think there's some value at this point in separating them. The DnD Next questions deal with playtest-specific issues in some cases, so I would be more inclined to have [dnd-5e] and [dnd-5e-playtest] with [dnd-next] linked to the latter. Probably we should also go and look at which questions are still relevant to 5e (based on the Basic Rules) and tag them as both.
