I got a little confused earlier today when I tried to tag a question as and discovered that there was no such tag in the system. There was, however, a tag called .

"That can't be right", I remarked to my pet bald eagle, who was perched atop a stack of NASCAR memorabilia and high-powered firearms. "I'd better ask on Meta about this."

Should we use the tag manoeuvre or maneuver?

Good question, and one that's been discussed many times before on meta.SE. The accepted answer there (from SE's community manager) is that tags are in US English, anything else is whatever the poster uses and shouldn't be changed. In the specific case of manoeuvres, or any other reasonably common tag that differs in US and British English, I suppose a synonym would be a practical solution.

So score 1 for bald eagles.
