South Ossetia is part of Europe?

[Brian141421]

Hi,

I noted that South Ossetia has the tag UG::Asia, but not the tag UG::Europe. This is odd, since all the surrounding countries do have the tag UG::Europe, viz., Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Armenia.

My proposal is to change main.cvs, and to change UG::Asia to UG::Europe for South Ossetia

Thanks for bringing this up!

I agree that given that all the surrounding countries have the Europe tag, so should South Ossetia. (At least for now.)

In the longer term we might (or not) want to make all the Caucasus countries have, say, both Europe and Asia tags. (Tags aren't really very user-facing (they're not something the user directly learns), so the usual argument about strongly avoiding back-and-forth doesn't hold as much.)

We might also want to add a section about tags to CONTRIBUTING.md, in the longer term. (All the various tag decisions are currently split among many issues.)

It's not terribly important, indeed. Perhaps the main use for tags is to split up the learning workload into more manageable pieces. That's at least how I used them, and found the anomaly with the Ossetia tag.
