Reorganize some "Rebel" tags

Posted under Tags

BUR #23870 has been rejected.

deprecate rebel
rename rebel_alliance -> rebel_alliance_(star_wars)
rename rebel_pilot -> rebel_pilot_(star_wars)
rename rebellion_army_flag -> rebellion_army_flag_(metal_slug)

These "rebel" tags are somewhat ambiguous due to the generic meaning of the word "rebel" itself.

The first tag, a very small tag simply called "rebel" consists of a random assortments of a literal rebel (i.e. person fighting against the government), a goth (i.e. cultural rebel), or simply an act of defiance. Given how vague it is, I think this can be easily deprecated.

The others are Rebel Alliance from Star Wars and related tag Rebel pilot, which is more well-known, but given how ambiguous this is (especially since Metal Slug has a faction called "Rebellion Army" and their lesser members were simply called a "Rebel soldier" or similar wording), I think these should need a qualifier to disambiguate them.

Finally, there's the Rebellion Army flag, which while it is sparsely populated at the moment, is actually having tons of untagged posts due to Warship Girls R and Azur Lane borrowed the design of the flag to replace their Swastika on German shipgirls. This tag needed qualification to clarify that it is the flag of the Rebel from Metal Slug, not Star Wars, and would probably needed quite a lot of work to populate it with more posts.

How do we tag things like post #6177188 or post #7084807?

The requirement for deprecated tags to have a wiki is not a fake rule. You need to provide alternatives. A wiki that just says "ambiguous" without actually telling people how to tag posts currently under the tag is useless.

I suggest disobedience as a tag for such cases. Other users may have better naming for that. For when characters are doing things prohibited despite a rule prohibiting such appears on a post.

+1 to a tag for directly and intentionally breaking rules posted/expressed in the same picture or comic. I would also apply the same tag to, for example, one character making a request or command to another who immediately does the opposite while looking the first character straight in the face.

I think "disobedience" is an okay name. Some others coming to mind are "defiance" and "insubordination" which more strongly connote intentional rebellion to me but might be less obvious tag names.
