Tag set clarifications

[worldbuildingmod]

Queries arising from tag set clean up will be posted here; please keep an eye on this post as it may be edited over the clean up period.

Harry Potter (Books 1-7)

Orion Black - it's been pointed out (correctly, as far as I can see) that Sirius Black's father isn't named within the books themselves. Was this nom intended for the Wizarding World (with Pottermore) tag? My inclination if I don't hear anything is to rename the tag in the books-only fandom as "Sirius Black's father", and add "Orion Black" to Wizarding World.

WB: Political Workings of the Wizengamot - this tag is fine, but there is possible ambiguity over its scope. The Wizengamot is portrayed in the books as the wizarding world's judiciary, although it clearly does have internal politics since we see members make resignations on points of principle. However, in other sources/fan interpretations, its role is wider. This is probably one to keep an eye on the requests for if you're planning to offer it.

Candy Land (board game) - portals issue now resolved, see comments

I'm on my phone and can't figure out how to copy over the url so this may have typos.

Sorry. The comment posted when I brushed my phone.

Some versions of the game have a story on the box that says that the characters from Candy Land are being helped by kids from the real world. I haven't managed to find the full text, and that text may be different for different editions.

This is not my nomination, so I can't be 100% sure this is what was meant, but there is some sort of connection between the game world and the real world. That might be taken to generalize to other worlds.

Thanks for all this, very useful. I'll leave it in.

Re: Orion Black

I checked the tapestry scene in the books, and as far as I can tell he is not mentioned by name (at least not there, which seems the most likely place). From memory, though, his name is shown on the Black family tapestry in the fifth movie, so if you add an Orion Black tag to Harry Potter - Wizarding World, you should probably also add one to Harry Potter - Wizarding World (No Pottermore).

I had forgotten about the tapestry scene, thanks.

The ideal scenario would be to hear from the nominator about what they intended, but failing that I'd rather include more tags than exclude some for having been slightly ambiguous.

I get the impression that we'll all be relying pretty heavily on the comments section of requests and on author letters for this exchange. That's not a bad thing. Keeps things interesting.

The word Orion features once in the Kindle version of OotP when Harry is drawing the constellation Orion in his OWL Astronomy exam and never in HBP or DH.

That's very kind of you to check! Thank you.
