Rewrite time: As DavidPostill points out in a comment, adb already has multiple computer-related uses, so an acronym tag is just asking for misuse.
adb is a new tag. I drafted a wiki and excerpt for it based on the usage so far. It has only a couple of questions, so any fix will be minimal.
Based on the new information, the logical approach is to have spelled-out tags for each use and an adb tag that advises users to pick the appropriate one.
- I can create a new android-debug-bridge tag, move the adb wiki contents to it, and retag the existing questions.
- We don't have any questions, yet, about Advanced Debugger, so we can't create a tag for that.
- Rather than synonomizing adb with a specific use, it should be turned into a "do not use" tag that guides readers to the appropriate choices. Right now, there's only one choice. I'm not aware of a way to link a tag to more than one other tag to preserve it, and I don't think synonomizing allows you to have a different wiki.
Ideas?
One thought. I don't know the limits on tag text (max characters, number of hyphenated terms, acceptability of non-letter characters other than hyphen; parentheses don't appear to be acceptable). One approach might be something like: android-debug-bridge-adb. If each spelled out tag includes "adb", they will show up for selection when the user enters adb as long as there aren't too many tags that contain that letter combination somewhere (there are currently six in addition to adb, and I believe the displayed collection is based on popularity).
