@Mithrandir how does having one tag recommend another work?
Do you need one tag to exist before making it expand into the other?
Like I mean on Meta when you type "HTTPS" it shows "SSL"
 
@Stormblessed You mean a tag synonym?
 
@DavidW I guess?
yeah that's what I mean
nvm
It'd be nice if all the Star Wars movies had synonyms with the numbers, like [episode-7] for [the-force-awakens]

Q: Did the Gungans live on the surface of Naboo (above water) prior to the arrival of the "Naboo" human settlers from Grizmallt?

airshanemodeThe Gungans, while comfortable in aquatic environments, certainly appear to have evolved on the surface of the planet: they walk upright, breath oxygen, and their army seems well adapted to surface combat as we see at the Battle of Naboo. Given this, did they previously have settlements partiall...

Q: Is Palpatine just lucky that Obi-Wan discovers the clone army and then the Separatist plot, justifying his emergency powers?

airshanemodeIt sure seems like Jango didn't want to be tracked since he kills the original assassin sent after Amidala with a dart when she's about to talk, and then he flees as soon as Obi-Wan shows up on Kamino and starts asking him questions, although not without first trying to kill Obi-Wan on the launch...

In tha...

Q: By the time of Spider-Man: FFH, is the cause of the "blip" widely known to the public?

voidstarIs it widely known that Thanos caused half the people to disappear, or is it just regarded as an unsolved mystery to the general public? Is it known that the Avengers were responsible for undoing it?

 
@Jenayah not sure. Ask a Meta?
 
A meta to clarify FAQ? That's meta :P
I'll check more before I ask, on Meta or Tavern
