Nominations are finished! We have, at last count, 14,891 relationships nominated across 1,340 fandoms.

First up, I'm not able to edit the tagset. AO3 is aware of the problem, but I'm also aware that we'd like to open signups on time! What I propose to do is do my best to keep an eye on it, and the minute I'm able to get into the console (which might happen), I will triage certain fixes as being essential. This is the order I plan to edit the tagset:

Removal of duplicates and unassociated tags
Deleting and recreating wandering tags
Merging/splitting fandoms
Any other changes.

Signups will not open until all identified duplicates are removed. I'll try doing the rest, but I'm keen to open on the 1st.

To make this faster for me and thus maximize my chances of getting everything done, I'm going to leave comments to this post. If you have identified a problem that needs to be changed, comment in reply to that comment only please!

Finally, some last queries:

Eleventh Doctor/The Master (Delgado) - Did Roger Delgado's Master appear in Doctor Who (2005)?
Tyrion Lannister & Varys (ASoIaF) - you've nominated this under Game of Thrones. Are you fine with me fixing that to be Varys (GoT)?
A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms - Did you mean A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, or Game of Thrones?
DCU - Which version for these characters?
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy - Does Anakin Skywalker or Yoda appear in The Last Jedi (Please provide a yes/no answer only; I want to see it soon!)
Gorogoa (Video Game) - Did you nominate relationships for this game?
Hohokum (Video Game) - Did you nominate relationships for this game?

I think "Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole" should be merged into "Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - All Media Types". It looks like the ships have been wandering between them, as it is. And as someone who was planning to request/offer, having two separate fandoms is a pain. It doesn't look like there are even 20 nominated ships, so it should be easy enough to avoid the comic exclusive characters if someone only wants book characters.

I think that's done. May I ask you to look over the fandom as it is now and see if there are any duplicates? Thanks!

Thanks! Looks like there are a couple of duplicates:

Wes Janson/Derek "Hobbie" Klivian (X-Wing)
Wes Janson/Derek "Hobbie" Klivian

Wedge Antilles/Tycho Celchu (X-Wing)
Wedge Antilles/Tycho Celchu

Also, "Wedge Antilles & Tycho Celchu & Wes Janson & Derek "Hobbie" Klivian & Luke Skywalker (Star Wars OT)" is currently under Star Wars Original Trilogy, but Tycho doesn't actually show up in the movies, though the books/comics retcon him in, so that might belong better in "Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - All Media Types" as well? Not my nom, though.

I've removed the duplicates! I've started getting lengthier delays in accessing the admin console though, so I'm leaving the association where it is.

Shouldn't Marvel (comics) and Marvel 616 be one category?

I think Angel: The Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer should be merged. Two characters (Angel and Cordelia) were regulars for the first three seasons of BtVS before moving over to Ats. Wesley was recurring on Buffy, becoming regular on Ats. Spike was a regular on BtVS for seasons 4-7 before, becoming a regular in Ats season 5. Lots of characters appear in both (Darla, Drusilla, Faith all have significant appearances in both series).

The following relationships are listed in both:

Angel/Buffy Summers
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers/Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
Lilah Morgan/Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (which I suspect is wandering)

Seconded. The two series are closely linked, with events in one directly affecting the other on multiple occasions, and characters popping in and out of both pretty regularly. More selfishly, it will free up an offer slot.

Hi mod! I noticed a double nom (I was one of the nominators don't know who the second was). Also it should be in Video Games rather than Uncategorized Fandoms but I don't believe the fandom has a tag yet on AO3. The following two noms were:

百花百狼 | Hyakka Hyakurou | Nightshade (video game)
Enju/Gekkamaru (Nightshade)
Enju/Hanzō Hattori (Nightshade)
Enju/Ishikawa Goemon (Nightshade)
Enju/Kuroyuki (Nightshade)
Enju/Mikumo Kyara (Nightshade)
Enju/Momochi Chōjirō (Nightshade)
Enju/Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)
Mikumo Kyara & Enju (Nightshade)
Yamakura Ennosuke/Mikumo Kyara (Nightshade)

百花百狼戦国忍法帖 | Hyakka Hyakurou Sengoku Ninpou-chou | Nightshade (Visual Novel)
Gekkamaru/Ueno Enju
Hattori Hanzo (Nightshade) & Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)
Hattori Hanzo (Nightshade)/Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)
Hattori Hanzo (Nightshade)/Ueno Enju
Ishikawa Goemon (Nightshade)/Ueno Enju
Kuroyuki/Ueno Enju
Momochi Choujiro/Ueno Enju
Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)/Ueno Enju

And should probably be merged down to:

百花百狼 ~戦国忍法帖~ | Hyakka Hyakurou ~Sengoku Ninpou-chou~ | Nightshade (Visual Novel)
Ueno Enju/Gekkamaru (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Hattori Hanzō (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Ishikawa Goemon (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Kuroyuki (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Mikumo Kyara (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Momochi Chōjirō (Nightshade)
Ueno Enju/Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)
Mikumo Kyara & Ueno Enju (Nightshade)
Yamakura Ennosuke/Mikumo Kyara (Nightshade)
Hattori Hanzō (Nightshade) & Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)
Hattori Hanzō (Nightshade)/Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)

I've merged those two fandoms together - may I ask you to check to see if there are any duplicates? I'm afraid that I can't associate the fandom to any media type - that's something only AO3 tag wranglers can do, and I'm not one!

Hi I wasn't sure which was more important to keep as the duplicates either don't give a characters surname or don't have (Nightshade) at the end. So the duplicates with no surname are as follows:

Enju/Gekkamaru (Nightshade)
Enju/Hanzō Hattori (Nightshade)
Enju/Ishikawa Goemon (Nightshade)
Enju/Kuroyuki (Nightshade)
Enju/Momochi Chōjirō (Nightshade)
Enju/Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nightshade)

Those duplicates should be removed now!

I'd suggest merging all the various Arrowverse shows into DC Arrowverse (under Uncategorized Fandoms). The characters all crossover each other's shows in canon anyway.

TV Shows: Arrow, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Supergirl

I'm also in favor of merging. There is so much crossover between the shows and character backstories are spread out between them.
