State of the Tagset

[pumpkinkingmod]

We currently have 958 accepted fandoms. I have just over 100 left to go through. I have not gone through and done many corrections yet, but if you see something that needs to be fixed then drop a message here.

This post will be edited as I have additional questions.

Unusual Tags - My new strategy for tags that wander even after disambiguation is to use ridiculous disambiguation. So if you see something with like "Moss Covered Unicorn" or "Dear Fishmonger" that was me.


Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV)
Framework AIDA (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) – She seems to be the same person as regular AIDA.

DC Prime Earth
Alan Scott – Did you mean New Earth or Earth 2? He doesn’t seem to exist on Prime Earth.
Jay Garrick – Did you mean New Earth or Earth 2? He doesn’t seem to exist on Prime Earth. He is already nominated under Earth 2.

Dragon Age (Video Games)
Dragon Age: Last Flight has been split from the video games.
Male Warden (Dragon Age) – The fandom guidelines specifically said to nominate based on Origin last name.

Hockey RPF
I have both Hockey RPF and Women’s Hockey RPF. Would you prefer I merge the two or have Men’s Hockey RPF and Women’s Hockey RPF?

Fate/stay night & Related Fandoms
It looks like I’ll need to divide this up into subfandoms. I was thinking one section for everything connected with the original Fate/stay night and then putting everything else into their own sections?

Green Gables Fables Did the nominator mean to nominate the books not the webseries as some characters are disambiguated with “(books)” added on? If no response is given I will assume that Green Gables Fables was intended and will accept it as such.

Marvel 616
Lunella Lafayette | Devil Girl – What is the difference between Lunella as Devil Girl and as Moon Girl?

Once Upon a Time (TV)
Liam (Once Upon a Time: Swan Song) & Liam Jones – Are these different characters?

Star Wars Legends - All Media Types – Is there any good way to subdivide this nomination or to rename it? Characters under it for reference.
Corran Horn
Jaina Solo
Mara Jade
Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo
Tycho Celchu
Ysanne Isard

Supergirl (TV 2015)
Clark Kent (Supergirl - don't migrate) – Nominator, I love you. Nothing wrong with your nomination. I just wanted to tell you that seeing someone disambiguate for migrating tags made me tear up a little.

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones
the Dwight – I can find nothing on this character.

All nominations except the ones I have questions about have been processed.

Hi, I'm one of the Fate/ people. Depending on what has and hasn't been nominated, I'd say that what you end up doing is dictated by that. Excluding Fate/Grand Order, Fate/Apocrypha, and a few others, most iterations connect to the primary visual novel. If you want to make sure that people get matched up though, I'd possibly just keep everything grouped together.

[cypher]

I'm also one of the nominators, and I nominated both Apocrypha and Grand Order. I really strongly want those to be separate so that their iterations of characters -- especially in Grand Order, which borrows so many characters from elsewhere in the franchise -- can be requested/offered without confusion.

I don't think it would help match people to combine them into one fandom; it would just limit who could request/offer the fandom, because you'd have to be familiar with all timelines instead of just the one you were interested in.

[diadochi]

That's a fair point, especially with regards to Grand Order.

Perhaps the right approach would be to have /Zero, /Stay Night, and Case Files (I only know it's nominated because I did so) grouped together, since they all run in the same continuity, and then have GO and Apocrypha on their own? I...don't know if anything else is up for consideration.

[cypher]

That would work for me!

From looking at the characters in the tag set, that seems to cover almost everyone -- there's a nomination for Lancer Elizabeth Bathory that's disambiguated (EXTRA/CCC), but I'm not the nominator for that one so I don't know if they want her in that setting or if that was a Grand Order nomination with a misfired disambiguator.

[diadochi]

The poor AO3 Fate/ tag mods have their work cut out when Grand Order mixes in with Extra CCC and other continuities. I suspect if Extra/CCC is also nom'd it would need to be separate too.
