Rename [aaaaaa] → [a-reckless-disregard-for-gravity]
I support this proposal.
It would also prevent confusion with the (pseudo-)sequals AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration)

Shouldn't [hogwarts-legacy] be renamed to [harry-potter-hogwarts-legacy] and/or a synonym be created?
We title our tags based on the game's official name. The official name of the game is "Hogwarts Legacy", without the Harry Potter specification, so we don't mention Harry Potter in the title ...

Can we rename the [mgs-5-online] tag to [metal-gear-online-3]?
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to outright change the tag to metal-gear-online-3 from what has come to be known as the more common title: mgs-5-online.
However, I would definitely see ...

Rename [simcity] tag to [simcity-5] or [simcity-2013]
The simcity tag should be a synonym for simcity-2013. That way, if they come out with a new title that they also want to call SimCity, we could just change the synonym.

Rename [the-witcher-2] → [the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings] and [the-witcher-3] → [the-witcher-3-wild-hunt]
With the tag renaming craze that came with longer tags I love to see the names that were shortened to be extended.
But for a game name to include it's subtitle when it's already a numbered entry, I ...

Make searching easier by renaming [little-big-planet] → [littlebigplanet]

Retag [dragon-quest-7] -> [dragon-quest-vii]
