This isn't going to change any tags currently on stories. The moderator is just manually sorting similar tags into buckets. So if you search for one of the 17 tags in a bucket, the search shows you every story that has any of the tags from that bucket.
And worm (parahumans) too. Two pages of results without general worm tag.
I usually dont equate Villain protags with Evil protags, but other than that, this is definitely a good one to merge
If you look a few posts up from the post of yours that I'm quoting, you'll see a post where I explain it. The other tags should still exist and be usable, it's just that the search and filter functions will treat them all as being the same "parent" tag. Thus, the problem you're bringing up should never happen.This is my concern too. Sure, in the backend, my guess is slapping in a junction table somewhere in the db or something.
But what about the practical implications?
In the case of...
I assume people will try to enter "cross over" and have it automatically converted to "crossover" instead. But what about the people who try to circumvent this? Who would go out of their way to tag "X-over" or "xover" or whatever else?
I know it's been mention that
So, I assume the readers WON'T have the ability to report what they feel like is incorrect tagging, and the mods will just play whack-a-mole including user-generated tags for all eternity like some db admin Sisyphus?
These three aren't directly Waifu Catalog, they're their own separate thing. Still, one combined Slut Life tag for those three should do nicely.
also fsn and f/sn
Waifu catalog and slut life are different enough I'd keep them separate. Cherico's version is different from Swift's.
I doubt this part is relevant for search. That's just some random flavor tags, what an author prefers, so they can be left alone.
I thought "Slut Life" was "female MC goes on a multiversal TV show and chooses how she gets railed for the viewers' amusement" and only related to the Waifu Catalog due to the Company running both. Or am I misremembering?
There's an AU sorta version of the Waifu catalogue where The Company is actually Slut Life and is actively screwing people over, rather than the OG version where it's all fiat based power fantasy without screwing over the contractors on purpose. If you see "Class A, Class D, ect" then you're dealing with the first version, which has more suffering and limitations and office politics. Edit: Also multiverse spanning enemy groups.
A lot of these contain additional information which you'd be erasing by forcing them to be the same tag. Like, mother/daughter is obviously conveying different information to people than just 'incest' (you'd tag with both)
You're mostly remembering correctly except I'm pretty sure there's no relationship whatsoever between the slut life CYOA and the WC.
Ugh. This complicated pile of shit. As it range from "technically villain" to "evil asshole". Mafia Boss or Medieval Noble Who Is Quite Happy To Be Asshole But Play By Rules who are just doing their thing (while often enough being positive influence on controlled area and their subjects) and somebody who goes out of their way to kick puppies are two very different kinds of protagonists. I would say tag first as Villain MC and second as Evil MC, but don't merge two types.
They're basically the same, but if you really want to get into it, yuri and yaoi are technically for more explicit relationships. Essentially, if it's not smut, you should be using gay/lesbian, but people don't really make the distinction anymore.
Edit:
This is also a good, other side of the coin response that shows how they're treated in more modern times.
Will add, and look for similar variations.

We aren't trying to reduce the total number of tags, per se, so it doesn't really matter whether a tag an author uses is necessary or not.
Where that wouldn't cause potential other problems, I can preference conciseness.
Not sure how search relevant those terms are, as opposed to 'setting expectations'/'having fun with tags'.
'High School' is grammatically correct, and the one official sources seem to use, so will probably stick with that.
Though a tag categorization/hierarchy Would help. Most of the time I think the authors just don't know what to use and just use random stuff. But a structure could focus them a bit.
>Fandom
>>Timeline
>Characters
>>Relationships (probably not required)
> Story type (si, oc, AU, dark, humor, crack, etc)
>> Story themes (heroic MC, villain Mc etc) (could be folded in with above )
> Author notes (No beta, Ai generated, Ai beta'd, Ai supported)
> Freeform (aka authors trying to be witty)
I won't merge 'bi male' and 'bi female' variations into an overall 'bi' tag, yeah, though authors themselves might not make the distinction when tagging.
We won't be adding tags to threads.
Yes, using 'Advanced search', and you can filter out multiple different tags as well.
We have a limit of (10?) tags, and aren't inclined to increase it.
Will reverse them.
Also, Mother/Daughter is more often used for "the mc has sex with both mother and daughter together" aka oyakodon, rather than "mother and daughter do an incest." It's a completely different fetish.
While 40k and 30k are the same setting they are very different at the same time as characters, factions, and general theme are very different.
It makes me think that they can freely change their gender, will have their gender changed multiple times or having a genderbending superpower, if it's a one and done thing I believe 'Genderbent' works better while retaining genderbending for as previously mentioned fics.
