As you may know, our DW community has a limit of 1,500 individual tags. We're currently at 1,455 tags, and are thinking about ways to keep that number under the limit.

Because most of our tags are fandom tags, we have decided to combine some of the oldest fandom tags that have only been used once. This will be a rolling project as we mods have time, and we'll post the list each time so that anyone who would like to create a second work for one of these fandoms has the opportunity to save it from our pruning!

For the first round, here are ~25 tags that haven't been used since 2012, and how we'll replace them:



f: harukanaru toki no naka : f: anime (category)
f: slayers : f: anime (category)
f: song quest : f: book (category)
f: tom's midnight garden : f: book (category)
f: clover no kuni no alice : f: manga (category)
f: love witch : f: manga (category)
f: dark city : f: movie (category)
f: gladiator : f: movie (category)
f: gotham (movie) : f: movie (category)
f: mary poppins : f: book (category)
f: master harold and the boys : f: movie (category)
f: paper moon affair : f: movie (category)
f: starship troopers : f: movie (category)
f: takers : f: movie (category)
f: the mikado : f: musical (category)
f: simon & garfunkel : f: song (category) *
f: iowa (song) : f: song (category)
f: 2 broke girls : f: tv (category)
f: alcatraz : f: tv (category)
f: blood ties : f: tv (category)
f: do over : f: tv (category)
f: level 7 : f: tv (category)
f: miranda : f: tv (category)
f: new girl : f: tv (category)
f: aion : f: video game (category)
f: eversion : f: video game (category)
f: killer7 : f: video game (category)
f: which : f: video game (category)


Please let us know if there are any of these fandoms we shouldn't combine!


(* The entry is actually about Simon and Garfunkel songs, not about the artists.)

That makes perfect sense to me. I'd be happy on occasions when I write something which doesn't already have a tag to suggest you use a generic one, like f: book (category).

Out of curiousity I went to look at the Mary Poppins entry (you never know!) and it should be the book, not the movie.

We like tagging for currently-in-use fandoms. Maybe someone will see your work and be inspired!

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll go back and fix it.

Great idea! It makes perfect sense to group some fandoms together.

I can save you another tag because I notice you've got one writer down twice: right at the bottom of the 'by' list you've got by:elen_nare - no gap between semicolon and name.

I find them on my own communities too, I was just going to look at what other fandoms there were when I spotted it.

General 'f: anime (category)' and 'f: video game (category)' tags are brilliant, IMO, and will make it very easy to sort ... pretty much all of my fills, past, present, and future. So my hat's off to you there, mods. :-)

We wanted to make sure the works were still findable by interested parties, even if we took out the specific fandom tag. I'm glad it works for you!

TYK, mods, for all the work you do to keep this comm running and up-to-date!

Intrigued by one of the fics and will be going to look at it in a bit! I did notice that Iowa is a individual song and Simon and Garfunkel are a band and it's not clear if it's a song fic or a band fic if that makes sense. Just from the tags I mean although there's not really a bandom for them. In any case whatever you need to do to make organization work makes sense to me!

I feel slightly guilty, I'm responsible for three of those ;) And I don't think I'll be using them again, the broad tags do seem a good idea!

I can save you a couple of tags, however:
The Red House Mystery and The Mystery of the Red House are referencing the same A. A. Milne book (been meaning to tell you about that one!). And carmilla series and carmilla (web series) is another duplicate.

I'm also responsible for three of them! So don't feel too bad about it. :)

Having done a lot of fills about classic movies (many of which I may not revisit), I can say that I wouldn't at all mind those being consolidated into one category. I've always kind of felt bad seeing one obscure 1940s movie take up an entire tag, actually.

(Just out of my own works, the tags I would consolidate under a general "classic movies" one are: Classic Hollywood, Each Dawn I Die, Seven Samurai, Whistling in the Dark, and White Heat.)

Also, I would definitely put "Chronos Ruler" under a general anime tag. It was... not a great series, and I wouldn't expect it to see further use. *snerk*
