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.

Date: 2018-01-16 06:42 am (UTC)-Caleb Altemoc (Cradt Sequence) [Craft Sequence - Max Gladstone]
-Any and No Characters (Discworld) [Discworld - Terry Pratchett]
-WB: Divine Objects (Divine Objects) [The Divine Cities Series - Robert Jackson Bennett; although I'm not familiar with this fandom I assume the disambig should be "Divine Cities" to match the others]
-WB: Handicrafts [missing ASOIAF disambig]
Also, this may be too messy to mess with at this point, but the "Any or No" and "Original" character tags for "Harry Potter - Wizarding World" and "Harry Potter - Wizarding World (No Pottermore)" have their disambigs switched.
And two notes on Candy Land. "Mr. Mint | Duke of Swirl (Candy Land)" was nominated as one character, but apparently the character Duke of Swirl is a replacement in later versions of the game of the character Mr. Mint? (I'm going off of Wikipedia here as I've only played the old Duke-less version.) Considering that the rest of the characters in the fandom are nominated as single versions (e.g. Queen Frostine & Princess Lolly's royal status has changed from version to version but that's not touched on in the tags) it seems odd to me to combine what seems to be two separate characters here.
Also, I don't remember anything in Candy Land about Incoming Portals from other dimensions? That may just be my faulty memory, but I found a copy of "The Legend of the Lost Candy Castle" online and there's no mention of portals either there or on the gameboard so I'm not sure where else they would be unless they're only in very recent versions of the game.

Date: 2018-01-16 10:52 am (UTC)In Harry Potter (Books 1-7), Orion Black (Harry Potter - Books 1-7) doesn't appear in the books and I think he is named on Pottermore not in the books. 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?

Date: 2018-01-16 05:50 pm (UTC)For Black Mirror, "WB: Backstory of Metalhead Universe (Black Mirror - Blackmetal)", the episode name is Metalhead, as stated in the tag, not Blackmetal.
