Do we need an [october] tag
In my opinion we do NOT need month tags. I have had a look at the three questions which have the october tag. In all cases the question is not about the month but about traveling in the time period in ...

Rename gps-navigation to be gnss-navigation
As most users seem not aware of the difference and GPS has become the general word for satellite navigation in a fair part of the world, I do not agree with the change.

How to handle the [ist] tag after the IATA code IST is transferred to Istanbul Airport?
We could mass-retag ist to former-ist on the day it closes, so anyone searching for just "Istanbul" will at least see in the tags that it's possibly obsolete. (If someone wants to go through and fix ...

Do 'children' and 'minors' mean the same thing?
In a nutshell, the way I understand it; the children tag is for questions about dealing with children, and issues faced due to children. The minors tag probably has more to do with issues that affect ...

Can we add travel-card tag?

How should we tag questions about West Bank travel?
Since all but one West Bank questions were also tagged with Palestine, I've merged the West Bank tag into the Palestine one. This isn't a political statement, just a matter of easier tagging. Thanks ...

Tag Frankfurt ambiguity
A longstanding convention here is to adopt the orthography used by the English Wikipedia, in order to avoid fights over historical rivalries and grudges (e.g. Derry vs. Londonderry, Danzig vs. Gdansk)....

Should we rename and repurpose the 'tap-water' tag to 'water' to cover filtering and purifying?
I'm in favour of renaming to drinking-water. Although most questions on TSE are about dodgy tap water worldwide, drinking water doesn't always come from taps. Our tags should accommodate this.

Covid-19-virus tag
Yes makes sense to rename and make synonyms to ensure that all tags point to the same main tag. I suggest:

Please add ...

How to handle the [ist] tag after the IATA code IST is transferred to Istanbul Airport?
IST has finally moved, so it's about time to actually do something here.
My suggestion is to retag old questions as ataturk-airport and use ist for any new questions going forward.

Do we need both tags "event travel" and "events"?
I agree they should be merged.
In addition, I think the tag "event-based-effects" should be renamed "incident-based-effects" to make it more distinct.

I don't know about night life, but drinking as a synonym for alcohol seems to me as arbitrary and unjustified as if we change "eating" into a synonym for "pizza".
