I am today years old when I learned that some ao3 tags, whether it only gained 3 separate uses or has a ton of people using them, can't be filtered because the volunteers haven't wrangled them yet (made them filterable, or "canonize" the tags, according ao3's support and feedback page)... I'm kinda mind-blown by the whole process and how they still need humans to gather every tags before squeezing them into a single term, ngl :o

#me: (forehead slap) ooooooh so that's why not all en es ef double u tags don't show up in the filters despite many authors using it #like. i finally get why i'd sometimes see terms like “tag wranglers” when i click on ao3's home page... Now it makes sense to me 😭🤚#apologies to ao3 for nawtttt sparing your glance at your home page... i'm like hungry shark trailing after blood when i enter ao3 sadly 🥲#but anyway! i came to this info because of aokabu lmaoooo 😭😭😭 deadass was wondering Why my latest fic didn't show up in the aokabu tag #turns out i forgot to add (pokemon) to the end of kabu's name which is... a small but annoying error 🤦��♀️ and that's when i wondered what #it took for some ao3 tags to finally be canonized and capable of being filtered... lo and behold reddit has the answer for me #and the ao3 support and feedback page even says that you can request to canonize or change tags???? that's so neat bro. 10/10 amazing work #anyway here's to hoping that the aokabu ao3 tag gets wrangled/canonized soon so it's easier for us writers to tag the fic and simpler for #readers to find our fics... this is my first time joining a small and growing ship (even atsukita isn't this small when i joined) so this #whole stuff is news for me :o there's more for me to learn about ao3 today i guess!#personal #writing
