BNHA explanation

Yay! survey results!!

As the person who submitted BNHA (or one of them at least), I am aware that it's not a metatag, but I use the tag a lot and thought it was relevant to the discussion.

1. I do worry that the tag will get split up into un-linked "BNHA (Anime)" and "BNHA (Manga)" tags like JJK or Spy x Family; though I'm less worried now the manga has ended.

2. Additionally, I don't know if anyone actually wants tags for these, but there are spinoff materials in other mediums -- the stage plays, the mobile games, the movies. I don't support AO3's general policy of splitting things up merely based on media type (see my many complaints about JJK fandom's handling) and I don't know how similar/in continuity these various spinoff properties are. Maybe they've already been considered by tag wranglers who are more familiar with the details than me, and decided to be similar enough to keep in the same tag! But it's something I would research if I were in charge of managing AO3 tags for this fandom.

3. Vigilantes -- a spinoff manga that could merit its own subtag the same reason Fruits Basket fandom would like a "Fruits Basket:Another" tag -- mostly focuses on a new cast of characters. (Did you see the Furuba person made a search filter with 16 character tags in OR statements to filter Another works?! Sure would be nice if the tag wranglers could use their tools to help with that....) I have seen a few people say they would like a Vigilantes tag, but it was a while ago.

I don't think any of these are major concerns for the fandom. Aside from Vigilantes, I haven't seen anyone asking for these tags. And since I don't want the current tag to get the Monogatari treatment I will *definitely* not be sending in support tickets about it. But on a survey about metatags and fandom groupings that I use, it came to mind.
