Aliasing attacking → attack

Reason:

There are probably more redundant tags like fight that we might want to look at, but for now we at least don't need both attacking and attack.

Approved.

Yep. The ones that I can think of offhand are battle, fight, combat, war, and duel.

Battle generally refers to large-scale combat, and fight to smaller scale. Not that those are tagged consistently. Combat can be either. War is tagged for either battles, or anything that could be considered war-related (such as soldiers). Duel is basically a fight between two characters, and only one of these that is tagged with any consistency.

Then there's sports such as boxing. Those often end up under fight.

There's also a lot of overlap with tags such as hitting, slash, stab, and punch. And attack.

I doubt these will be sorted out anytime soon. But it might be good to set some basics for those. I'm thinking that maybe we should solidify battle for large-scale combat, or at least have some tag for that (...mass_combat?). Once those are under one tag, it'd be easier to handle the rest.

(I know I'm almost 2 years late, but...)
What about the violence tag? That one is tagged more than attack (826 vs 442) and seems to be used for the same thing.
