Issue 2675: Discrepancy between formation code and search description

There appears to be a ‘discrepancy’ with the this Formation -
Reel of three - lead change (REEL;HALF;R3;LeadChange;).
The code suggests that the Formation should be a ‘half reel’ whereas the searchable description suggests that Formation should be a ‘full reel’!
I have not yet looked further to determine whether there are any other Formations which may be affected - such as a code for a ‘full reel’ or a description for a ‘half reel’.

This is an obvious mistake. I have removed the tag “HALF:” This led me to make a wider search of discrepancies between the formation names and the formation tags. I looked at all formations concerning reels, and checked if they all had the tag “REEL:”; the tag like “R3;” indicating the type of reel; the proper tag “HALF;” (or not); the proper tag “TANDEM;” or “LEADCHANGE;” when applicable; and any other errors I saw. I made quite a number of corrections, which I have nor registered in detail. I expect that most of the errors have now been corrected, but I have not checked other parts of the formation list.

Most of the tags have been added using the “colloquial name” of the formation as starting point, as that name is commonly used when entering formations to a dance entry.
But it is just possible that older “legacy” dances could have had the formations correctly tagged but given an erroneous “colloquial name”. Then I could have introduced new errors when changing those tags to fit that name.
