Generic "Battle of Mogadishu" tag versus "Black Hawk Down" tag

Posted under Tags

Should we have a generic tag for the October 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, or should everything related to it be put under the Black Hawk Down tag?

On the one hand, there are images that aren't explicitly based on the movie that wouldn't really fit under "Black Hawk Down", and would under the more generic tag.

On the other hand, "Black Hawk Down" barely has 25 images as-is, so it's not like it's overly crowded, and I'm wary of adding more tags just for the sake of more tags.

Any thoughts?

It wouldn't be for the sake of adding tags, it would be to tag something that should be tagged. As Damian said, Black Hawk Down is for the movie. If a post isn't referencing the movie, then it can't use that tag.

If there are posts referencing the battle, but not the movie, then there should be a tag for the battle. Muddying tags just to avoid making more tags is a poor idea.

That wiki would do well to be trimmed a lot, we don't need a wall of text with Wikipedia text for Danbooru wikis.

I've taken a hacksaw to it. Lemme know if it should be trimmed more. If so, I'll cut it down some more tomorrow.
