Re: hot takes ao3 edition

They used to wrangle non-fandom tags though, for stuff like plot tropes, so there clearly was guidelines at some point. Like obviously no one needs "idk I thought this was lit" wrangled but it'd be nice to have relatively well-known tropes done, like "pining while fucking" still isn't a filterable tag

Yeah, up till I think 2014 you could wrangle no-fandom tags but the guidelines were vague and there was zero oversight so it was basically a freeforall, something got wrangled if a wrangler happened to feel like it

Then they were like, this is not sustainable (fair), so they turned that off "temporarily" and said let's go through a complicated consensus-building process so that every wrangler has input on every be canonical! But first we need a committee. And then the committee fell in the Sarlaac, to be slowly digested over a thousand years. Every few years someone waves a hand and shouts "don't worry we're working on it!"

So the no-fandom tags are basically frozen in amber c. 2014 until someone lights a fire under tw comm's ass. Which somebody needs to do already. (oh look we found my hot take.)

I did a calculation with that giant tags data dump and fixing all the NF tags with a reasonable number of uses would take a dozen or so experienced wranglers maybe a few weeks dedicated work, but not if they had to get a mailing list's consensus on every onen
