Mini nominations update

Eligibility: Following thinking about Call the Midwife, I have decided that fandoms which are only-very-slightly-fictionalised versions of real world events don't really qualify, as any reasonable worldbuilding tags would actually be calls for research about the real world, which would be outside the scope of the exchange on the same reasoning as the ineligibility of RPF. I will update the Rules post later on today to reflect this. (Another example of a fandom which would be affected would be The Crown.)
Disambiguation: I'm now getting back to approving nominations, but I'm currently seeing quite a large number of fandoms on the approvals screen where some or all of the tags lack disambiguations. Please add disambiguations to all character tags (even canonical ones, despite what the instructions on the nomination screen itself say) and worldbuilding tags. I can add them manually as I approve, but it's considerably more time-consuming, so I will generally be prioritising fandoms that do have them. (In particular, I can do a quick pass to approve a few fandoms that only need boxes ticking on my phone at various points throughout the day, whereas opportunities to get on the computer and do more complicated things come less often.)
Missing tags: There are also quite a few fandoms nominated recently which I will not be approving until they have both of the "default" character tags: "Any or No Characters (Fandom)" and "Original Character(s) (Fandom)". There are currently more fandoms than I can see in one go on the approvals screen, so the following list may be incomplete, but in addition to the three Stargate fandoms from last post, fandoms missing one or both tags include Dinotopia - James Gurney, Mortal Engines Series - Philip Reeve, Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Voyager.
