I would like to ask a question about El Cid but do not see a tag for the reconquista. Could we add a tag for the reconquista or should I use a different tag for this time period?

2Kind of interesting really how much more interest there appears to be in the immediate post-Reconquista era (which was a short period), than there is in the Reconquista itself. – T.E.D.♦ Dec 17 '20 at 19:09

1I believe an older discussion here went along the lines of 'the Reconquista' is a specific crusade for which the wider topic tag also fits. – gktscrk Dec 18 '20 at 11:28
I don't consider myself an expert in what makes for a good tag. However, I think a tag should have enough call for its use to justify its existence.
After checking neighboring tags, spain (the most recent 50 of about 130) and islamic-hispania, I only found one other question that would reasonably be better tagged reconquista, were such a tag to exist.
Given that, I'd suggest tagging an El Cid question islamic-hispania, and possibly also spain (depending on the amount of non Al-Andalus content in the question). When/if we one day get a few more questions specifically about the Reconquista, we can readdress the tagging.

1@JoséCarlosSantos - True, although it looks like in this case El Cid was dealing mostly with Aragon and Castile? – T.E.D.♦ Dec 18 '20 at 13:35
