We've been using the [gravitational-waves] tag for 10 years, do we really also need [gravitational-wave-astronomy]?
No, the [gravitational-wave-astronomy] tag is redundant. I've merged it into [gravitational-waves]

Do we need the [nomenclature] and [naming] and [terminology] tags?
They make sense to be distinct when they are used distinctly.
On the English SE there was a question about the difference between 'nomenclature' and 'terminology': https://english.stackexchange.com/...

Should we add the eyepiece tag to all questions that are about eyepieces? Or instead delete it since tagging would be a hopeless, quixotic quest?
Voting on the question is currently +3/-0 and there's an affirmative comment with two upvotes as well.

What is the best way to tag questions about Xuntian, the Chinese Survey Space Telescope?
Tag it with [csst], as this tag already exists.
We have tags for specific telescopes that use the name of the telescope or mission: Eg [gaia] or [chandra]. Hubble is treated differently, as [hubble-...

One tag for LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA or three, or none?
I suggest using the gravitational-wave-astronomy tag that hasn't really caught on yet. It seems to capture the case where the topic involves collaboration quite well.

Is a charged-coupled-devices tag okay? If so, what would be good usage guidance for it?

I think that we have no good tags for solar-system-evolution or asteroid-formation or asteroid-evolution. Should we?
