Redirect [dragonrider] to [dragon-v2]
I've done the merge as suggested, and also merged dragon2 to the same. It seems many questions were tagged with two or three of those tags, and they all are essentially the same.

Is the single-use attitude-indicator tag necessary? Should it just be synonymized with instrument?

Please help me to understand how tags end up visible when you start typing a different but related term in the tagging window of a question post
Synonyms can be made without a tag by that name existing. Please do not create tags just for the purpose of them becoming synonyms.

ADCS would help those who search for it, but it seems very specific, so probably helpful only to very few. I actually ...

Hot topics? Cool questions? thermal, thermal-control, heat, heat-flow, cooling, sub-cooled, liquid-cooled tags; is there room for some consolidation?
