With the release of The Desolation of Smaug, do we need multiple tags for the three Hobbit films? (I'm guessing that we do.) If yes, how do we go about retagging all the questions?
2 Answers
desolation-of-smaug unexpected-journey there-and-back-again
For the Hobbit specific movies.
fellowship-of-the-ring the-two-towers return-of-the-king
For the Lord of the Rings specific movies
the-hobbit-trilogy For anything Hobbit related as a SERIES.
lord-of-the-rings For anything LotR related as a SERIES.

1. Will users be able to find
desolation-of-smaug
when they try to add 'the-hobbit-desolation-of-smaug` (or its shorter form)? 2. Can we mergethe-hobbit
withthe-hobbit-trilogy
? This should make things a little easier. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 14:40 -
There are other "The Hobbit" movies out there which is why I'm against blanket merging.– Tablemaker ModCommented Dec 13, 2013 at 14:44

I'm not sure I follow. There are other LotR movies out there too. Are you suggesting that a potential question from the new film will have to be tagged with the-hobbit, the-hobbit-trilogy, and desolation-of-smaug? Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 14:57

No, thats nonsense. The point is to tag each individual movie with say desolation-of-smaug for the Hobbit movie released in 2013, the-hobbit-trilogy apply when talking about all 3 movies together, and the-hobbit-year when talking about the earlier Hobbit works– Tablemaker ModCommented Dec 13, 2013 at 15:03

1Then shouldn't there be a
lord-of-the-rings-trilogy
tag? When wouldthe-hobbit
tag then be used? And which tag would I then use if I wanted to locate all questions aboutthe-hobbit
? To exemplify, I can locate all questions on Star Trek by simply clicking thestar-trek
tag. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 15:14 -
2What about
the-desolation-of-smaug
andan-unexpected-journey
? Are they too long (at least the second one doesn't seem to, but I'm too lazy to count and maybe you already did)? If not, we should rather do it properly instead of creating another such fiasco as thedark-knight
tags. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 15:19 -
lord-of-the-rings-trilogy is just short enough to work.– Tablemaker ModCommented Dec 13, 2013 at 15:29

@TylerShads Yet nobody wants that
-trilogy
in there anyway (letting my subjective opinion speak for everybody, of course). ;-) Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 15:37 -
@ChristianRau Apparently, we are using
hobbit-2
now :| Commented Dec 16, 2013 at 10:06 -
1@coleopterist Yeah, that's bad. I'd have liked to see
the-hobbit
together with Tyler's suggested individual tags. Commented Dec 16, 2013 at 10:07
As Christian states in the comments to Tyler's answer, we should probably use:
I'm pretty sure that there's a meta post that states that we should always try to include the article in the tag name. We can probably synonymise the-hobbit-1, the-hobbit-2, and the-hobbit-3 to these tags to assist users.
I don't think that we have a policy on "trilogy" tags. They don't exist for questions about the Matrix or LotR trilogies. But we do have one for Raimi's Spiderman trilogy.
I'd prefer to retain the-hobbit tag for questions about any version of The Hobbit. The the-hobbit-trilogy tag can probably wait for now.

Trilogy tag are very useful when we talk about full universe but for hobbit the need for it appear to be little far.– Ankit Sharma ModCommented Dec 16, 2013 at 12:03

1"I'm pretty sure that there's a meta post that states that we should always try to include the article in the tag name." - Indeed there is (even if that's just the opinion of a single misguided individual ;-)). Commented Dec 16, 2013 at 12:58
