As someone with 0 interest in reading anything to do with show canon, please do not merge GoT, HotD, and ASOIAF. All the variations of ASOIAF make perfect sense, but for the love of god not the others.Game of thrones, Got could be merged under A song of ice and fire. Hotd and house of the dragon might be possible as well. In the end, it's one universe but different timelines, and/or continuities.
Though a tag categorization/hierarchy Would help. Most of the time I think the authors just don't know what to use and just use random stuff. But a structure could focus them a bit.
>Fandom
>>Timeline
>Characters
>>Relationships (probably not required)
> Story type (si, oc, AU, dark, humor, crack, etc)
>> Story themes (heroic MC, villain Mc etc) (could be folded in with above )
> Author notes (No beta, Ai generated, Ai beta'd, Ai supported)
> Freeform (aka authors trying to be witty)
Honestly, I think it should be yuri harem because that's shorter and easier on mobile.
Also not all self inserts are OCs. Some people insert into canon characters.
Your other standardised tags used "protagonist" rather than "MC".
As others have noted, needs a split between the "protag is genderswapped (once)" cluster (e.g. Youjo Senki) and the "protag can swap gender" cluster (e.g. Ranma 1/2).
I think it might be worth maintaining ASOIAF and GOT as separate tags; the writers of the latter did "innovate" substantially.
Much appreciated - these are all very helpful and very needed mergers.
warhammer does need a few tags though
I agree, for the people who don't know those all are just completely different things. They might take place in the same verse but in Warhammer the difference between stuff like say 30k and 40k are like day and night
While Nier and Nier Automata are both games in the same universe, they take place many thousands of years apart. While some of the androids have lived long enough to be in both, many characters have not, also, during the time between the two aliens invade with a machine army (which is still being dealt with in Automata), so a story set in one would be drastically different from the other.
Seconding this.
I'd agree with the first couple of those, but "rape" does have different connotations (as a tag on this site) than "non-con" and it's various spellings, with "rape" generally referring to more violent actions and "non-con" sometimes being used for actions short of intercourse, consensual non-con/rape play by the characters, and similar.
I Strongly disagree with this.
Maybe. There's a good point for keeping AU and it's variants separate from timeline divergence.
This would be nice but probably require a lot more work on the back end than QQ is going to be able to handle any time soon.Though a tag categorization/hierarchy Would help.

Bad idea.
