Or: how do you want to subcategorize large franchises, so people can actually view and use the tagset without breaking out Excel.
All Media Types? Into subfandoms? By time period? By location?
Make a thread for your canon (unless there is one already), and then discuss in the subcomments.

The modly suggestion would be to at least separate out Legends, the new expanded universe, and the movies, plus a fandom for Star Wars internal crossovers (e.g. Leia Organa (SWOT)/Female Revan (KOTOR))
Star Wars Crossovers
Star Wars: Resistance (Cartoon)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
Star Wars: Rebels
Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Cartoon)
The Mandalorian & TBOBF
Andor (TV)
Star Wars New EU - AMT
Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game)
Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games)
Star Wars Legends - All Media Types
Would a similar split be acceptable this year? Do people want Legends/the new EU split more? Do people want The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett split this year?

Having a fandom tag for Star Wars internal crossovers is a good idea.
My two cents:
Shows
I think The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett can be combined since BOBF is intended as a "chapter" in the Mandalorian story.
While in the timeline with those two Disney series, I feel Ahsoka should be broken out because it ties more to other stories.
The Visions series might be difficult since each episode is unique, but I suppose that would be covered by character. (*I perhaps really like the Visions series and am looking for an excuse to try to vid it)
Books
I think book series should be categorized by either and individual book/series or by something like:
- Legends EU
- Disney EU
- The High Republic Era
Games
I think it's pretty common to see Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor combined and think that's logical.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but think that's it for now. ;)
WRT Visions, I am down for lumping it in as one fandom. The only potential issue would be with worldbuilding tags, but as long as people mention which episode they are referring to, this should not be a problem.
That sounds fine to me. Thank you!
Star Trek: The Original Series
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise
Star Trek: Discovery
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
Star Trek: Picard
Star Trek: Lower Decks
Star Trek: Progidy
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Star Trek Crossovers (for e.g. T'Pol (Enterprise)/Worf (TNG))
+ books by storyline (so e.g. the Rihannsu books would go under one fandom category), with standalones nominated on their own. As for franchise-internal crossovers, they'd be under the generic Crossover Fandom if none of the series fits. (If Crossover Fandom gets a huge slew of Star Trek internal crossovers, I'll ask the community about shifting those to a new Star Trek Crossovers fandom.)
Otherwise, I think how it's split is pretty solid.
For books, I'd like to be able to nominate Vulcan Academy Murders/IDIC epidemic as one, since they are a storyline. I think we have in the past but I can't find it.
If the books are in one storyline, then you can of course nominate them as one fandom.
How should these be abbreviated? And should one use abbreviations every time or only when it is needed for clarity? (Asking specifically for the Star Trek fandoms, but the question applies for both.)
Thank you!
Chirp, chirp!!

Abbreviations of the fandom name, if clear, are completely fine. You can check the tag set to see if someone else has already nominated something for the fandom and use the same disambiguation as they do.
Yes, thank you, that was the word I should have used.
And the information I needed!
Thank you most kindly!

So would I tag that as Predator Crossover? Predator Franchise? Predator Movies? Something else?
Eg.
Fandom: Predator Movie Crossovers
Worldbuilding: Predator biology and culture
