Split the "master" tag?

You could just edit that tag to be [mysql] and since it is the only question with that tag, the tag will eventually be deleted by the system automatically.

Rename [ssms] → [sql-server-management-studio]
Yes.
This makes sense. We should do this (with ssms as a synonym), at least as a trial.
The rename could be easily reversed if any of the anticipated drawbacks actually materialize.
Our tags are ...
