Hi @Donald.McLean, would you consider doing this

Q: Should we merge the tags [folk] and [folk-music]?

We currently have the tags folk and folk-music. Both tags serve the same purpose, so it seems redundant to have both of them. So, can we mark folk-music as a synonym of folk? As pointed out by @Bebs here, it is unnecessary to add "-music" in a tag, so it makes sense to have folk as the main tag....

@Donald.McLean Thank you! Can you also weigh in on the situation with the tags instrument-identification and identify-this-instrument? I recently posted an answer to this question on Meta asking about them:

Q: Should we merge the tag [instrument-identification] to [identify-this-instrument]

Standard identification tag is indentify-this-xxx so I suggest we keep identify-this-instrument so it is probably not necessary to keep both. Should we burn instrument-identification?
