Hi what's up! It's Mod 2 and I'm already out of things to approve because yet more undisambiguated noms are in my way, so I'm switching to some quick clarifications!

What is disambiguation, why do we have to do it, can't you just do it for us?

  • Disambiguation is when you put "(Fandom)" at the end of your nominations. See in this post for examples.
  • You need to disambiguate because A) we said so and B) it keeps horrible things from happening to the tagset and thus to your mods
  • When we have to do it for you we're prone to making mistakes! Also it takes a longass time and our time is not limited. People who don't disambiguate make the exchange harder for us, and we hate that! Stop making it less fun! Disambiguate!
  • (By the way, you need to disambiguate even if you're using canonical tags. In fact, especially then. All tags must be disambiguated.)

Fandoms that need to disambiguate

  • Probably every fandom not crossed out that's listed in this post (same one as linked above) but I can't see all of them still so I won't bother relisting them. Please backread all clarification posts.
  • Buffyverse (TV) — Some of these are disambiguated but they're disambiguated wrong, so. Good enough, thanks for trying!
  • DC's Arrowverse
  • Agatha Christie's Poirot (TV)
  • Aladdin (2019) — this was mentioned on the last post but I would like to clarify that you've used canonical tags with "(Disney)" but we need your tags to be specifically disambiguated with "(Aladdin 2019)"
  • Ant-Man (Movies)
  • Fullmetal Alchemist — All Media Types — Also, you should pick a specific version.
  • Les Misérables — All Media Types — Also, you should pick a specific version.
  • Madam Secretary
  • NOS4A2 (TV 2019) — Also, usually there's spaces around the & in platonic relationships!
  • Rosemary and Thyme
  • The Magicians (TV)
  • The Mechanisms (Band) — also you need to get back to us about other clarification stuff. and there are THREE OF YOU so one of you should be able to disambiguate your many, MANY relationships.
  • PROBABLY OTHER FANDOMS but this is as far down as we can currently see. Go check your nominations if you didn't do so last night!

Other problems

  • Avatar: the Last Airbender — In case you actually come look at clarifications, we rejected your nominations because we're not allowing bangpaths in our relationship, and furthermore "Platonic!A/B" is NOT how anything works. Read our nomination guidelines and feel free to ask us questions.
  • Crossover Fandom: Minn-Erva (Captain Marvel)/Nebula (Avengers) — Thanks for disambiguating! But this should just go under The Avengers.
  • Fullmetal Alchemist - All Media Types — Mentioned above, but you need to pick FMA 2003 or Brotherhood/Manga
  • Les Misérables - All Media Types — There's a book, a play, a movie, and probably other adaptations I don't remember. Please pick one.
  • If you had freeforms rejected — I've rejected about 30 freeforms that were just random stuff like "Crying" and "Hurt/Comfort" and "Time Travel". I like all those things too, but that's not what freeforms are for in this exchange! Freeforms are for medium opt-ins only. Read our nomination guidelines and feel free to ask us questions.
  • If your freeforms are lingering, waiting to be approved — Mod 1 handles all the medium opt-in stuff! You can make things go fasting by commenting on this post about what you think the minimum for your medium should be and also by back reading nominations clarification posts to see what we have outstanding questions about.
  • Dreaming of Sunshine — Tragically, the tag we told you to use has been synned to Naruto because the world is a cruel, unforgiving place. Please use Dreaming of Sunshine - Silver Queen (disambiguated for exchanges) now. We've updated the nom guidelines to reflect this too!

That's it for now! I look forward to seeing your disambiguations.
