Should the ti99 tag be changed to ti-99?

Question

For consistency, I think the ti99 tag should be changed to ti-99 and ti99 should be a synonym for it.

What do you think?

When you look at other tags, you see a trend of "computer-model". Such as apple-ii and atari-st, commodore-pet, etc.

The hierarchy I would suggest (tag plus synonyms) would be:

ti-99
    ti99

The only reason I wouldn't suggest making texas-instruments the main tag is that it's a little long and most people probably refer to it as TI anyway.

Answer 1

You're right, the convention we've adopted is to have hyphens. I've created the ti-99 synonym.

I have not created a texas-instruments or ti. We can do that as and when necessary.

The recommendation here is that use of a tag containing only a manufacturer name should only be applied if discussing more than one product of that manufacturer. Tagging with, for example, ti and ti-99 or apple and apple-ii is unnecessary.
