Freeform cleanup report

[idficmod]

Freeforms in IPQ are traditionally a free-for-all. This cleanup is intended solely to remove redundancies, improve alphabetization/sorting, and make fandom-specific tags easier to find. Other than fandoms, we didn't add categories to tags that didn't already have them. (For example, Casual Cock Warming for Comfort has not been filed under Cockwarming.) We only removed exact duplicates; if two tags were almost but not exactly the same, both versions remain. Almost all of your tags will be right where you left them. If we got anything wrong, let us know.

Not the nominator, but I wouldn't be surprised if "Being/Becoming the Avatar for Khonshu (from Moon Knight)" is intended essentially as a crossover tag--ie. a character not in MK becoming Khonshu's Avatar

[(Anonymous)]

I am the nominator, and yes, it was intended as a crossover! Someone not in Moon Knight becoming or being the Avatar of Khonshu

[idficmod]

Thanks for clarifying. Moved to Crossover - Character From Another Fandom Is/Becomes the Avatar for Khonshu (Moon Knight).

[unhindered_dreams]

Under additional tags there's both:
Alternate Universe - Vampire
and
Alternate Universe - Vampires

[idficmod]

Thanks, the first has been deleted.

Noticed a duplicate in Supernatural!

Rowena MacLeod/Sam Winchester (SPN)
Rowena MacLeod/Sam Winchester (Supernatural)

[idficmod]

Thanks, dupe deleted.

I apologize if this is too late now, but I've only just noticed that a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 (video game) ships are in the Books category under Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game) which is not where most people are going to look for or request those ships.

[idficmod]

At a glance, it looks as though they're all also showing up under Baldur's Gate (Video Games). If you spot any that are only appearing under D&D, let us know, but otherwise they should be requestable under Baldur's Gate without any trouble.
