Tag set progress

I've made some inroads into nominated tags today; please be patient if I still haven't made it to yours. A full queries post will go up around this time tomorrow, at which point I hope to have approved everything that I don't have questions about.

I'll carry on poking at the tag set for a little while longer today, but I did just want to flag up at this stage that I am seeing a fairly large number of fandoms (probably at least a quarter of those remaining unapproved) which, as they stand, will end up being rejected. The minimal set of tags for a fandom to be approved is:

  • "Any or No Characters (Name of Fandom)" (in one of the Character fields)
  • "Original Character(s) (Name of Fandom)" (in another Character field)
  • at least one worldbuilding tag (in the format "WB: [worldbuilding idea] (Name of Fandom)", in one of the Relationship fields)

I'm also seeing a number of tags for what seem to be (or are even stated within the tag as being) AU scenarios. Unless a given AU exists within canon, it is not within the scope of worldbuildingex. If you have nominated such tags, please be proactive in providing evidence for the existence of the AU within canon.

ETA: I've just seen a couple of tags awaiting approval in already approved fandoms disappear, presumably deleted by their nominators. For what it's worth, in the very few instances where I've left tags in this state, it's generally because two different nominators have put in very similar tags and I'm planning to ask on the next queries post whether they can be folded together, not because there's anything "wrong" with them.
