Admin: Tag culling, round 2

  • Jun. 19th, 2019 at 9:09 PM
As you may know, our DW community has a limit of 1,500 individual tags. We're nearing that limit and need to cull tags again.

Because most of our tags are fandom tags, we've 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 second round, here are ~25 tags that haven't been used since 2012, and how we'll replace them:



f: fate/stay night -- f: anime (category)
f: heartcatch precure! -- f: anime (category)
f: mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch -- f: anime (category)
f: double act -- f: book (category)
f: the borrowers -- f: book (category)
f: the last unicorn -- f: book (category)
f: the night circus -- f: book (category)
f: sakura card captors -- f: manga (category)
f: chronicles of riddick -- f: movie (category)
f: downtown: a street tale -- f: movie (category)
f: gunless -- f: movie (category)
f: kung fu panda -- f: movie (category)
f: philadelphia -- f: movie (category)
f: sin city -- f: movie (category)
f: the lion king -- f: movie (category)
f: what matters most -- f: movie (category)
f: the importance of being earnest -- f: play (category)
f: atp tennis -- f: rpf (category)
f: tang dynasty rpf -- f: rpf (category)
f: perry mason mysteries -- f: tv (category)
f: regenesis -- f: tv (category)
f: the it crowd -- f: tv (category)
f: the newsroom -- f: tv (category)
f: donkey kong country -- f: video game (category)
f: gakkou de atta kowai hanashi -- f: video game (category)
f: mother 3 -- f: video game (category)



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

Just out of curiosity I took a peek at the taglist, and ran into others you might be able to combine:

You have the tags 'mahou shoujo madoka magica' and 'madoka magica' which I suspect are the same thing (also known as puella magi madoka magica)

You also have 'romeo + juliet' and 'romeo and juliet' tags. (There's also a 'Shakespeare (various)' tag if you want to merge those with it?)

The fandom tag 'Thor' entires could go under the 'marvel cinematic universe' or the 'marvel comics' tag I suppose?


It was fun scrolling through the tags, and I found some wonderful fic and art while doing so. Thank you for having a multifandom comm like this! ^_^

Thanks!

We'll probably leave the Romeo/Juliet tags alone for the moment. Romeo + Juliet was a particular movie and shouldn't necessarily be combined with the other. We'll take a look.

'f: sakura card captors' seems to just be the same thing as 'f: cardcaptor sakura', and would probably make more sense to combine in that way, as the second is the actual series name.

I don't have any this round, but I had three last round and expect to have a lot more as we go. I've done a lot of one-off drabbles here over the years!

Two tags I used can probably be combined.

f. dead gorgeous can go into f. tv (category)

f. the incredibles can go into f. movies (combined)

I went ahead and combined Dead Gorgeous, but there are two works for The Incredibles. It's a crossover, but it counts!

Opinion: Fate / Stay Night might be best tagged as f: anime (category) because that is the version of canon that is accessible to the broadest number of people (thanks to Netflix).

Aha! That's what I get for relying on Google to determine categories. Thank you!
