Nominations queries #4

[worldbuildingmod]

Nominations close a week today, at 2355 UTC, so there's still plenty of time. (Countdown timer.)

Individual tags in approved fandoms

• WB: Time Lord University (Doctor Who) - I can't recall any Time Lord characters ever using the word "university" to refer to a phase in their education, except possibly when explaining things by analogy to human characters. I intend to change this to "Time Lord Higher Education" unless the nominator strongly objects.
  
• WB: Efforts of Having a Secret Identity (Power Rangers Dino Charge) - is this meant to be "Effects"? Or am I missing something?
  
• I have rejected WB: Jedi Agri Corps from Star Wars - Movies Only, as per this post.
  

Incomplete nominations

The following fandoms are missing either or both of the two "default" character tags that need to be nominated for every fandom, "Any or No Characters (Fandom)" and "Original Character(s) (Fandom)":

• City of Hunger (Video Game)
  
• Mortal Engines Series - Philip Reeve
  
• Star Trek: The Original Series
  
• Star Trek: Voyager
  
• Stargate Atlantis
  
• Stargate SG-1
  
• Stargate Universe
  

Skipping over these to deal with other fandoms is currently manageable, but if the number of fandoms on this list increases substantially, it may become difficult to find fandoms which I can approve (when there are large numbers of unapproved fandoms, AO3 shows me a random selection of 30 at a time), and so I may have to start rejecting them. I am very reluctant to do this, as all the other tags nominated for them look fine. If I do end up having to reject these, I will do so in the order that they were first raised as having missing noms on the comm. (The three Stargate fandoms would therefore be the first to go.)

If you want to see these fandoms in the tag set, please ensure that the missing nominations are added; you do not have to be the original nominator to do this.

I'm not the nominator, but for the Doctor Who tag, presumably they meant the Time Lord Academy.

[worldbuildingmod]

That was my first thought, but I think there's enough ambiguity* about it that I'd like to know what the nominator was thinking, and failing that go for something fairly generic. (I might even just go for "Time Lord Education" without the "Higher".)

*Off the top of my head: Three compares his time at the Academy with the Master to being "at school together", not university; the whole Untempered Schism bit is when they're very young, etc. But on the other hand, the Doctor and Romana, talking amongst themselves with no humans present, speak in very much British-university-like terms about double firsts and getting doctorates at the second (or was it the third?) attempt, etc., so unless that's the TARDIS translating for us it probably does go right through. And then again, sometimes we get references specifically to the Prydonian Academy, which seems to be specifically attached to one chapter, so maybe there are lots of different academies, not just a single one ... etc.

All good points! I am so happy I found this exchange, because even being out of Doctor Who fandom for years now, this just makes me want all the things about Time Lord education :D

Sorry. "University" was an error; I mean "Time Lord Academy." "Time Lord Education" is fine.

[gehayi]

That was me. Sorry again. I changed my nomination to "Time Lord Education."

[worldbuildingmod]

Thanks for clarifying; I've approved it.

I messed up one of my nominations and didn't realize until I saw that it ended up in Uncategorized Fandoms instead of Books. My apologies; I totally should have double-checked this and I don't know why I neglected to do so: "Flatland - Edwin A. Abbot" should be "Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott" (2 T's).

[worldbuildingmod]

If it makes you feel better, I messed up, too: that's a canonical fandom tag, so AO3 almost certainly automatically offered me the correction and I just missed it.

I'll add this to my list of tag set maintenance jobs to get started on after nominations close - I'm a bit wary bout poking at anything complicated while new tags are still being added.
