Nominator of Always Forgetting With You - Spiritualized (Song): The characters Constantine and Kaley aren't mentioned in the song or on any of the other songs on the album. Consider nominating Character: Narrator (Always Forgetting With You) instead.
Nominator of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983 Cartoon): I am not sure Worldbuilding: Eternia makes contact with Earth is a worldbuilding tag – it sounds like a plot prompt. Does Eternia make contact with Earth in canon?

Nominators of Star Wars Legends: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn and Star Wars: Thrawn Series - Timothy Zahn (2017): as per the franchise wrangling post, these would go under Star Wars Legends - All Media Types and Star Wars New EU - AMT respectively. Is there a compelling reason to keep them separate, or should I merge them?

A bunch of tags lost their associations while being approved. I managed to recover most of them, and am going through the Steven Universe ones, but some still remain unassociated. Please tell me which fandoms these ones belong to:

This fandom is not acceptable in its current scope. Please split into series instead. Note that the tag used doesn't have to be canonical on AO3.
Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole
Is it acceptable to merge this with the Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - All Media Types tag we seem to have already?
Star Wars Legends - All Media Types
The nominator(s) of Relationship: Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma and Relationship: Jagged Fel/Jaina Solo/Zekk may suggest migrating the tags to beneath a new, different fandom tag, for ease of offering. (As a reminder, to offer a fandom, one must be able to offer two tags in it – or all of them. People might be able to write about Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma, but not any of the Thrawn stuff, leading them unable to offer it.)
Does this contain space?
Does this canon exist as more than speculation (trailer, three scenes on YouTube, complete screenplay, etc)? Does that extant canon material contain space?
ETA: More stuff added!
Fandoms that need Character/Relationship/Worldbuilding tags:
Magical Starsign (video game)
We won't accept "empty" fandoms. Please find at least 1 specific aspect that interests you and nominate that as a tag.
Fandoms whose nominators need to resubmit tags in acceptable format:
Phantasy Star (Video Games)
Xenosaga
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Star Wars: Rebels
Tales of Graces
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Warchild Series - Karin Lowachee
To reiterate: If you wish to receive a Thing centered on a character, nominate your character tag as Character: Charactername. If you wish to receive a Thing centered on a relationship between two or more characters, nominate your tag as Relationship: Character A/Character B. If you wish to receive a Thing centered on worldbuilding, nominate your tag as Worldbuilding: A Clear Description.
Fandoms with other issues:
Star Wars Legends - All Media Types: could the nominator please be more specific about the fandom they want the nominated relationship under?
Rejoice!

There are several multi-installment franchises and the like in the tagset. Are Gundam, Star Trek, and Star Wars (and any multi-installment things I may have missed) split up correctly?

![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Based on my limited experience with Star Trek, the fandoms seem to be correctly divided, but characters may still be in the wrong place.
With Star Wars, the split is into the Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, The Force Awakens, and All Media Types, plus spin-off media. Should some of these be consolidated?
