Accurate according to who? Metroid Wiki refers to the basic suit as just the Power Suit.
There's arguably more than one kind of "power suit" in Metroid. The Galactic Federation's armory, armored Space Pirates, Ghor's suit, Rhundas' suit- This tag is meant to include every "Chozo" variant. Which also includes Raven Beak's.

I'm getting conflicting messages here.
It's both the umbrella tag and the tag for suits of Chozo origin.
You may be thinking "but the dark suit and light suit are luminoth tech". Well yes but canonically a chozo power suit adapts whatever you feed it. Similarly, the PED suit wouldn't be tagged on every federation trooper in Prime 3 (Though you might tag the phazon enhancement device on their armor if you really see a reason to).

I'm getting a headache while trying to parse this post.
Is power suit (metroid) meant to be an umbrella tag for all kind of power suits from metroid? Then chozo power suit sounds like a bad main name, because anyone who hasn't played the games is just going to think "what the hell is a chozo" and not add the tag unless they're a related tags spammer.

You know how we tag Master Chief and friends as spartan_(halo) when they have the armor? It's that.
But I hadn't considered it from the viewpoint of related tags spamming, so it may not be wise after all.
Related tag spamming is a minor concern in this case, it's more that "chozo power suit" seems like a worse choice than what we already have, and a pointless change. We'd be "technically" correct , if even that, but practically it would just be worse for everyone who's not an expert in Metroid lore.
This rename would make more sense if there were more types of taggable Metroid power suits that are not chozo power suits, but it'd still need a qualifier, and currently this tag has no wiki and a very generic name so I'd assume those posts are already being dumped under this tag.
even if there are more types of suits (i'm not a lore expert but i'd expect the ones in fusion, i.e sa-x and the accompaining soldiers from the intro to not be chozo) it would be too much work to clean up the posts and i doubt some of the specific suits will get more than 50 posts per tag
