Starman is in the Roadster, so therefore the correct tag should be Roadster. I think Starman should be a synonym of Roadster.
According to Space-Track, the name is "TESLA ROADSTER/FALCON 9H", so it ...

How did we end up with a hypothetical tag? Should we keep it, or not?
This has been discussed extensively before, see Would a “Speculation” tag be useful?, and the linked questions and discussions.

artemiss mission and artemis program tags, do we need both? If so, how to know which one to use?
There are multiple Artemis missions in the Artemis program. It looks like, if anything, we should have artemis-1, artemis-2, etc. Probably, best to just merge artemis-mission into artemis-program ...

The first four use structure in a different way than the last. For the first four, I think the design tag would work well, or the more specific engine-design.

Post the question as-is (with the whole list), then make an answer with the ones you know and make it community wiki so that the answer can be edited and no single person reaps in all ...

Should we have separate tags for the Soyuz launcher and the Soyuz spacecraft?
Suggestion #1:
Create a soyuz-spacecraft tag and a soyuz-launcher tag.
Merge and synonymize soyuz into soyuz-spacecraft.
Retag some questions as soyuz-launcher as necessary.
I think soyuz should be ...

Is the single-use attitude-indicator tag necessary? Should it just be synonymized with instrument?
I've been involved in asking and answering some of these questions. In my opinion, it is too specific and infrequent to merit its own tag.
