    Ahhhh, okay. I didn’t know that was a thing. That’s exactly the sort of thing that would help though. Tha is for telling me. In Stack Overflow (not that I’m suggesting a technology Q&A site and fan fiction site need similar functions) tagging is much more strict. They can even change tags and combine them thus affecting all related questions. But it sounds like AO3 has something somewhat similar but I wasn’t aware.

      Haha, yeah it’s a neverending process. There’s a bunch of volunteer positions behind the scenes; tags are managed by ‘tag wranglers’, so it can take a while for some of the odder ones to get classified as it’s human people doing the classifying. It’s a tricky balance of functionality & maintaining the community culture/flavor. I think they do alright, but I’ve also been using the site for years, so definitely biased.
