Nominations clarifications #2

[worldbuildingmod]

This time I do have some questions.

• "Harry Potter Franchise" - is this a deliberately broad fandom title intended to embrace all Harry Potter and associated works (e.g. the Fantastic Beasts movie, Cursed Child, Quidditch Through The Ages ...)? It's fine if it is, but I want to be sure before I decide on the correct way to disambiguate the tags for it.
  
• RPF - the worldbuilding tags nominated under RPF so far include things like "The coming effects of global warming", "The Riemann hypothesis", and "What shape is the universe?" responses to which which would be better published in academic journals than on AO3, and if successfully addressed would potentially get Nobel Prizes, Field Medals, etc. rather than a few kudos and if you're lucky a nice multi-paragraph squeeful comment. Do people want speculative fanworks based on these aspects of the real world, or are they joke nominations? (There are no character tags nominated under RPF other than No Characters/Original Character(s), which makes me think that the nominator is not interested in stories about people trying to find the answers to these questions so much as answers to the questions themselves.)
  

I'll be offline for a while now, but I will get back to approving tags soon.

Harry Potter Franchise

Yes, that was deliberately meant to include all associated fandoms. I saw the "wizarding schools around the world"-subcategory to late and then decided to just stick with it. I would be fine with just Harry Potter, though, and could change it myself, if that's easier.

Please hold fire on making any changes for the moment. There are now a bunch of noms under "Harry Potter" and when I put up the next clarifications post shortly, I'll be asking if the nominator intends that to be the book series alone, the film series alone, or what you mean by "Harry Potter Franchise".
