chocolateboxcommI've heard back from AO3 and the reason why I can't reliably load the admin console to edit the tagset is because of two factors: the size of the tagset and the amount of traffic over the Christmas/New Year period on the archive itself. I've managed to go through and remove identified duplicates, most of the wandering tags, and made a number of fixes on spelling mistakes. I think that's all I'm going to be able to reliably do.
As such, I will keep trying to remove any further identified duplicates and wandering tags that really should not go where they have gone, but I'm very reluctant to do any more merges. I don't want to risk making a number of tags unassociated and then not being able to associate them again. I'm really sorry to the people who wanted merges for DC Arrowverse, Buffyverse, and Marvel Comics but the risk of you not being able to request/offer these fandoms at all was too high.
Finally, as this comes up every year: i'm not able to categorize fandoms in the Uncategorized Fandoms section. Only AO3 tag wranglers can do that, and I am not one.
Any other amendments, let me know! I will do my best to get them done and open the signups in the morning on the 1st!
