tag cleanup: barrel

the current barrel wiki refers to wooden containers and oil barrels. but these two are visually distinct and we also have drum_(container) fit for the latter. would it be nice to separate them?

+1. They should be separate tags since they look different.

+1. The first sense (wooden container) is the reason why I created the wiki. Then I saw the oil barrels, which are made of metal.

Modified the second line of the barrel wiki since we already have a tag for metal drums. +1 for cleanup.

Speaking of, would anyone mind an alias from drum_(container) to a shorter metal_drum tag? If not that's fine, just throwing it out there.

I think when I made the tag I picked the *_(container) labeling because I had some concerns that if I picked metal_drum it might cause confusion with say a steel drum/steelpan. Also that some drum containers may also be made out of plastic (though slight visual differences from metal and not sure how likely we'd ever see a plastic style one on the site). Just some concerns to take into consideration. I'm fine with metal_drum myself.

Now that I think about it, there are plastic drums used for water storage. Maybe we should keep it as-is.

Regardless of what's inside them, wooden barrels look different than plastic or metal drums.

+1 for separation.
