General notes + Tolkien, X-Men, and Terminator

General notes

As of right now, there are 279 approved fandoms and 1570 approved relationships in the tagset! So we're moving right along. That said, there have been various issues, and are some things you guys can do to make things go a little smoother.

1. When nominating, use full names when applicable, and use canonical tags when they exist. Before nominating, please check to make sure the relationship you are nominating is not already in the tagset; this will help prevent doubling up on tags when one person nominates A & B and another person nominates B & A.

2. If the characters you are nominating do not share a surname, it would be very helpful if you would post a comment on DW to tell us how they are related. This goes double for obscure fandoms, very new fandoms, and fandoms where the characters' relationship is a twist later in the series.

3. If you're nominating relationships for something like X-Men where there are many versions, disambiguate your tags if possible! Example: Raven | Mystique & Charles Xavier (ATM) or Raven | Mystique & Kurt Wagner (Comicsverse).

4. For those of you already doing any of these, THANK YOU! You're making me and the auxiliary tagmod's lives so much easier!


Tolkien

Tolkien tags have been sorted into The Hobbit - All Media Types, Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, and The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien. If you had a nomination for Tolkien fandoms that now seems to be missing, please check to make sure it's not there in a slightly different format, since we did have a few doubles; if it seems to be missing entirely, let me know!


X-Men

The X-Men tags were migrating everywhere, but I think I figured out where most were meant to go. If you nominated relationships for X-Men, please check X-Men (comicsverse) or X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies) to make sure your relationship nominations are where they're supposed to be. If you nominated X-Men (Original Timeline Movies), I didn't find anything I thought was supposed to go there, so that fandom is currently gone; contact me if this is wrong.

There were a few relationships that didn't seem self-explanatory. If you nominated any of the following, please let me know where they're supposed to go:

  • Clint Barton/Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff - this might be MCU?
  • Pietro Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff - MCU, comicsverse, or ATM?
  • Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff - MCI, comicsverse, or ATM?
  • Yashida Mariko & Yukio - Comicsverse or Wolverine (Movies)? (ETA: They keep migrating into Original Timeline Movies, so I'm putting them in Wolverine (Movies) for now. Let me know if they should be moved to Comicsverse instead.)
  • Speaking of Wolverine (Movies), should Logan (2017) and Wolverine (Movies) be combined? ETA: Nominations for Logan have been moved to Wolverine (Movies).

Terminator
Terminator (Movies) and Terminator Genisys have been separated. Most of the relationship tags for the Terminator franchise, including The Sarah Connor Chronicles, have been disambiguated. If you nominated either of the following relationships, though, please let me know where they are supposed to go:
  • John Connor & Sarah Connor
  • John Connor & Kyle Reese

It looks like my nominations in Lord of the Rings (Movies) were missed when everything was moved to become Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien:

Éomer Éadig & Théodred & Éowyn

Also, in the Hobbit all Media Types you have a duplicate:

Balin & Dwalin (AMT) is the same as Dwalin & Balin (AMT)

I nominated Aloy & Rost under "Horizon: Zero Dawn", and I think none of those tags exist yet. HZD is a video game that released earlier this week. Rost is Aloy's adoptive father.

Ack! it turns out that there's no colon in the game's title D: I'm sorry, can you fix that?

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't provide evidence for the relationships I nominated, and thanks for going through and approving most of them anyway--but I saw that in Chronicles of the Kencyrath you rejected Lyra of Caineron & Graykin. They're both the children of Caldane of Caineron, although Graykin doesn't have the "of Caineron" after his name because he's a bastard. Here are their wiki pages, though, which show that they have the same father:

http://kencyr.wikia.com/wiki/Lyra
http://kencyr.wikia.com/wiki/Graykin

Also, it's entirely possible that this was my error and not yours, but in the same fandom I see that I've got two nominations for Tirandys of Knorth/Jamethiel Priest's-Bane of Knorth approved and none for Tirandys of Knorth/Jamethiel Dream-Weaver of Knorth, which if I didn't nominate I certainly meant to. They're two different characters, one Tirandys' sister and the other one his niece, and they've also both got pages on the wiki:

http://kencyr.wikia.com/wiki/Jamethiel_Dream-Weaver
http://kencyr.wikia.com/wiki/Jame

Thank you!

Fair enough! I thought I might have typed Tirandys/Dream-Weaver and one way or another it got changed to Tirandys/Priest's-Bane, but it may very well have been my error, so I will just have to live with it not being in the tagset (unless I can find someone else interested in putting it in for me.) Thanks!

Actually, no, that was me, because when I looked them up they had the same names and the same epithets listed and I thought I was looking at the same page twice and they were the same person and made them the same tag. So that's my fault. Sorry!

I nominated the Terminator stuff, it's for Genisys.

Yashida Mariko & Yukio should be under the Wolverine movies as I think that's the only version where they are explicitly related. In any case it's what I meant for it to be nominated under.

I would vote that Logan and the other Wolverine movies could be combined, I believe they are supposed to be a trilogy anyway.

I'm not sure what all was nominated for the X-Men Original timeline but technically speaking most of the relationships present in the Alternate Timelines still exist for the OT. Raven and Charles are still adoptive siblings, Alex and Scott are still brothers, ect. Especially for Raven and Charles I could see how some people would want to see their antagonistic relationship in the original movies explored (since First Class is still a part of the original timeline as well as being part of the alternate timeline). I'm not sure if that's what the nominators were thinking or even if those relationships were the ones nominated, but there is canon basis for the relationships to exist in those movies.

I nominated several Alex and Scott tags like on the first day of the nominations? Originally I put them under Movieverse as I wanted them for both the timelines, but AO3 rejected them because someone else (you, I take) had already nominated one of them under ATM. So, I changed my noms under ATM and deleted the double. I'm OK if X-Men OTM gets deleted as I don't think someone else would be interested in fanwork about it for these characters anyway.

Pietro Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff probably isn't ATM. Peter Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff (ATM) is already under it and disambiguated.
