I think they mean the cases where there is an unrevealed fic (in this case a drabble) that hh/the mod wranglers clearly see exists, thus making the fandom tag eligible to be made canon, yet they choose to comment “Don’t touch until Yuletide reveals” and leave it all unwrangled.

Until the work is live (that means "revealed"), there's no guarantee it'll ever be live and need an index point for people to navigate to.

Again, you aren’t understanding.

October 1: I write and post a fic for Ghost Blue outside of any exchange. My work is on the archive that anyone can read right now. The Ghost Blue tag is unwrangled.

Nov 5: Yuletide author posts their unrevealed gift for Ghost Blue. There are now 2 works on the tag, my revealed fic and their unrevealed one.

Nov 15: Comment on the Ghost Blue tag by hh saying that no wrangler should touch the GB tag until Yuletide reveals.

This makes no sense under Ao3 rules. The minute hh saw that there was a public fic on the tag while they were doing their Yuletide rounds, they should have canonized it (as one of the few wranglers with the authorization to do so) like they would any other fandom that was waiting to be wrangled, and then another wrangler could have cleaned up the rest of the tags/claimed it as their own.

Deciding to leave it unwrangled AND using their head mod powers so that no other advanced wrangler can touch it without getting in trouble is what the OP was saying is stupid.

This is different from a fandom with 0 (unrevealed) fic, which is what you are talking about.

There's also no guarantee that a work will stay live. An author could just delete the only fic for a fandom and that would have the same effect.

The logical conclusion would be to only display an "index point" to the users once there's a revealed work posted for it. Is that really so difficult to code?

If only you spent half as much time reading what was actually said as you did with your passive-aggressive HTML tags.

coalie i think you meant "revealed" in that first sentence. the other coalie's reply makes sense w/ you saying "unrevealed" instead
