Admin: tag culling

  • Nov. 1st, 2022 at 6:19 PM
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 this round, here are some single-use tags that haven't been used since 2015, and how we'll replace them:


f: shikabane hime : f: anime (category)
f: skies of arcadia : f: video game (category)
f: stardust : f: book (categrory)
f: the bfg : f: book (categrory)
f: the fosters : f: tv (category)
f: the foundling (novel) : f: book (categrory)
f: the hour : f: tv (category)
f: the midnighters : f: book (categrory)
f: the sevenwaters trilogy : f: book (categrory)
f: the vintner's luck : f: book (categrory)
f: the woman in black : f: movie (category)
f: tiffany aching : f: discworld
f: tomorrow people (1973) : f: the tomorrow people (all versions)
f: tomorrow people (1992) : f: the tomorrow people (all versions)
f: viking history : f: song (category)
f: wayward daughters : f: supernatural
f: woah dave : f: video game (category)
f: wolfblood : f: tv (category)
f: wreck-it ralph : f: disney (category)



f: utau : left as-is


Please let us know if there are any of these fandoms we shouldn't combine, or if they belong in a different category -- as mods, we aren't always familiar with the fandoms!

Perhaps "f: tiffany aching" could be merged with "f: discworld"? They're within the same universe, and I would expect to see them together.

I'm surprised the Tiffany Aching work wasn't tagged Discworld to begin with, honestly

on a similar note, the Wayward Daughters tag should be merged with the show it's an attempted spinoff of, Supernatural

If they're part of the same canon, I can put them together. Thank you!

f: utau : f: video game (category)

Utau is a synthesizer software application, not a video game. It might be better off as "f: music (category)".

Yeah, I'm not sure where to put this one.

Song doesn't seem right, since it has neither lyrics nor a set musical structure. But from what I can tell, it does have characters of sorts, which is why I leaned toward video game.

I might just leave it alone rather than trying to categorize it.

I'm sorry, I answered this comment too quickly earlier.

Do you know this fandom? I looked at the wiki, and it looks like there are characters with histories and backgrounds. So it didn't seem like this was just a musical instrument, or a single song.

I'd appreciate any information you have!

Yes, I've been listening to Vocaloid and Utau music for about a decade and a half.

Here is the Wikipedia page for Utau- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utau -explaining that it is a shareware synthesizer program. I think where you're getting confused is the nature of the voicebanks. As a shareware program, anyone can make a voicebank and offer it up for use, and when doing so it's customary to create a mascot/character the voice belongs to, and to give that character a brief biography.

For example, if I made an Utau voicebank of my own voice, I could then release it as KalliA with the art in my icon, a tiny bio, and anyone would be free to download and make songs with, draw art of, write about, etc. the voicebank character KalliA.

Anyway, I hope this helps explain what the source canon is.

I think we'll just leave this one as it is, until and unless we get another musical instrument fandom to merge with it.

I'd say Wayward Daughters should just be merged into Supernatural? It was supposed to be a spin-off that then never happened.

2015? Yikes.

The two Tomorrow People tags, as well as Wolfblood and The Midnighters, are there because of me. I can't believe it's been so long since I used any of them.

The current merge categories are fine. Alternatively, combining the Tomorrow People tags with Tomorrow People (2013). They're three different shows, but anyone who's playing in one of the tags (who, again, will probably be me) will understand what they're seeing.

I created a single fandom tag for all three:

f: the tomorrow people (all versions)

Does that work for you? This way, all three of them are linked together instead of being lumped under the tv (category) tag.

wait no I've confused Wayward Daughters, whatever that is, with Wayward Sisters, the show that tried to backdoor pilot in Supernatural and then didn't get picked up

…but so did the person who wrote the one work on this comm, which is already tagged 'f: supernatural', so 'f: wayward daughters' can get straight up deleted

Aha! That explains why I was coming up with some odd things when I looked that up. Thank you!
