EDIT: Please see this post for clarification requests. Tags with unclear validity may be deleted before sign ups open.
The tag set is now closed, with 272 fandoms, 1877 characters (1333 excluding the defaults) and 1573 worldbuilding tags.
I have gone with my best guess on the few remaining clarifications, and I believe I have dealt with any clean up issues that people have pointed out as we went along. (If I have missed something you have already told me about, please point it out again here.)
We now move into the clean up phase proper. For fandoms you nominated/are interested in offering or requesting/know, it would be really helpful if you could check for:
Do feel free to let me know if you happen to spot any wandering tags, but please don't go to extra effort to search for them specifically, as I will be looking for them alongside creating the spreadsheet version of the tag set.
Speaking of wandering tags, I intend to deal with these by adding a "#" between the tag and the disambiguation; the extra character can be safely ignored on the participant end, it's just to make the tags stay put in the fandoms they're supposed to be in.
I will be accepting corrections and queries for the next 48 hours or so, after which I will be moving to finalise the tag set and get ready to open sign ups.

We now move into the clean up phase proper. For fandoms you nominated/are interested in offering or requesting/know, it would be really helpful if you could check for:
- Spelling errors etc.
- Redundant tags - e.g. this character is the same as that character under another name; these two worldbuilding tags are synonymous
- Validity - i.e. is there at least something in canon for this to be extrapolated from? (I have been checking that tags in fandoms I don't know personally seem sensible, mostly on wikia.com, but a few things may have slipped past me)
- Undisambiguated tags - i.e. ones that are missing "(Fandom)" after them. This isn't essential but it'd be nice for everything to be consistent.
- Missing tags - in the sense that you know you nominated it but now can't find it, or an equivalent I have merged it with. I hope there aren't any, but there were several occasions where the archive gave me an error message after approving tags and while I think they all made it through, I can't be 100% sure. If you do have this situation, providing a link to your nominations page would be very helpful.

WB: Political Workings of the Wizengamot (Harry Potter - Books 1-7) is the request about the politics of the British Wizarding government or the judiciary because fanon often conflates the Wizengamot with the government but the books are clear it's the judiciary?

I'll mention the Wizengamot thing there as well, but there's no guarantee all participants who might be attracted by the tag are going to see any particular discussion on the comm so that would be the sort of situation where I'd advise keeping an eye on the requests as well.
