Rename tags zerg, terran, and protoss to starcraft-zerg, starcraft-terran, and starcraft-protoss?
I personally think that we should rename them to be starcraft-zerg, starcraft-protoss, and starcraft-terran. The reason being is that all other tags that have subcategories in them, such as Minecraft, ...
