Should we rename the [adnd] tag to [adnd-1e]?
Don’t make adnd another umbrella tag—we don’t need another. dungeons-and-dragons handles that situation just fine, just like it does for questions across WotC-era D&D editions. There doesn’t seem ...

Should the [pathfinder] tag be renamed to [pathfinder-1e] (with the former as a synonym)?
Yes, rename it! But we don’t want the edition-less synonym confusing things.
pathfinder should be renamed but without leaving it as a synonym. We should just not have a Pathfinder tag without an ...

Should the [pathfinder] tag be renamed to [pathfinder-1e] (with the former as a synonym)?
Yes, we should.
To avoid confusion on the part of both question askers and question answerers. The use of edition tags has generally been very helpful for this site.

Should we change the tag [arcane-focus] to [spellcasting-focus]?
Yes, the arcane-focus tag should be renamed to spellcasting-focus
The arcane-focus tag seems to be narrowly scoped to focus (heh) on one particular type of spellcasting focus that exists in at least ...

Rename the [masks] tag to [masks-a-new-generation]
The change has been made
I left this for a few days to see if there were any arguments against it. There haven't been any, reasonable or otherwise so I didn't see the point in waiting any longer. I ...

Should the [breath] tag be renamed to [breathing]?
Yes, it should be renamed.
Without checking, and given the context of RPGs, I would definitely think "breath weapons!" before thinking "breathing" on reading a "breath" tag. Using "breathing" instead ...

Should the [wfrp-4] tag be renamed to [wfrp-4e]?
In this specific case, yes.
We don't really care about a RPG.SE convention for edition tags. We care about what players of that game use and find natural and would be searching on and so on. So if ...

Should the [astral] tag be renamed to [astral-plane]?
No
Especially in infrequently used tags, more general is better. "Well my question isn't quite about the astral plane it's about..." is the immediate issue from the next question about ...

Should the [pathfinder] tag be renamed to [pathfinder-1e] (with the former as a synonym)?
Yes, with a caveat:
We should use a similar system to how we organize the D&D tags.
We would need to rename the existing pathfinder tag to pathfinder-1e, as proposed, but create a new, generic ...

Should the new (2nd) edition of The One Ring be tagged separately from the first edition?
Yes; we did this with AD&D 1e and AD&D 2e a few years back.
While I'm not familiar enough with that game to get into details, it would be consistent with how we tag Traveller, AD&D, WoD, ...

Should we change the tag [arcane-focus] to [spellcasting-focus]?
Yes, we should rename it.
We are already using it this way, and we should merge it with holy-symbol. Both will be useful synonyms. Using "arcane focus" and "holy symbol" as ...

Should we rename the [adnd] tag to [adnd-1e]?
Does the umbrella tag adnd materially help any question? Sure, it has a tag description clarifying that it means 1e, if someone bothers to look, but how common is that?
It seems far more ...
