Should we separate the [the-dark-eye] Tagtag into multiple tags for multiple versions of the game?

There are multiple editions of the game "The Dark Eye". - 5 of them, to be exact. According to Wikipedia, 2 of them have (official) englishEnglish translations, though TDE4TDE 4/4.1 had only a very small number of its books ever translated.

The problem: We currently only have the tag , encompassing (theoretically) all the editions. This leads to problems that can, for example, be seen in this answer to the question "How many skill points should I give my players for winning an encounter?" answer. Theoretically Theoretically, the answer is right - for TDE4/4.1 - Butbut it is wrong for TDE5. And the question itself does not clarify which version the op is playing. (Well, we could guess, and it would probably be accurate, but we can not know for sure - and as per our policy, we should not guess)

There are currently 36 questions with the tag. I would guess that most of them are for TDE5, but that is solely based on the assumptions that most germanGerman players of TDE simply use the official (germanGerman) game forums for questions and stuff like that. But I don't think we would be able to correctly tag the questions (I could tag my question about TDE, and Trish is also still around, but there are old questions in the tag that are not from me or Trish but from people who do not seem to be around any longer, so....)

What should we do about this situation? I have to admit that I am not that active here any more (I'm more of a silent reader for the last year(s)), so I am not exactly sure what the right way forward would be.
