Nomination Clarifications 2

[flowing_river]

Reminder to make sure your relationship and character nominations are disambiguated with the fandom name in parenthesis. The specification on which character(s) should be portrayed as disabled should be after the disambiguation (e.g. "James "Rhodey" Rhodes & Tony Stark (MCU) (Disabled Tony Stark)").

If your nominations have not been approved yet, please edit your tags so that they follow the guidelines in the nomination rules[link]. Incorrectly formatted nominations will be rejected. If your nominations were rejected due to incorrect formatting, you are welcome to re-nominate them after fixing the formatting. Nominations close on September 7th at 8PM PST.

Fandoms

Marvel

This fandom tag is very broad and we have decided we will not be accepting it for this round. Please re-nominate your tags under a different fandom tag such as "Marvel (Comics)", "Marvel 616", "Marvel Cinematic Universe", or any other smaller fandom tag and update your disambiguations accordingly. We will accept these tags under "Marvel Cinematic Universe" if the nominator does not edit them before nominations close.

Avengers Team Members & Disabled Matt Murdock (Marvel - All Media Types) - We will not be accepting tags with group names in them. Please choose specific characters you want to nominate and list them out in the relationship tag.


Switched at Birth

The canonical tag for this fandom seems to be "Switched at Birth (TV)". Is there a reason this should be approved as "Switched at Birth" instead of the canonical tag? We will accept these tags under "Switched at Birth (TV)" if the nominator does not respond.


Biohazard | Resident Evil (Gameverse)

These nominations seem to be disambiguated with Resident Evil 8 specifically. Is there a reason they're disambiguated with Resident Evil 8 instead of the entire gameverse?

Freeforms

Disability - Amputated Limb/s - "Disability - amputation" is already in the tagset. Can this tag be merged with it or would the nominator prefer keeping this as a separate tag?

Scenario - Training a service dog - Can this tag be reworded to explicitly include a disabled character? Perhaps something along the lines of "Scenario - Training a Service Dog for a Disabled Character" or "Scenario - Disabled Character Trains a Service Dog"?

Feel free to comment on this post or email us with your clarifications!

Switched at Birth

Hi! I'm the nominator for Switched at Birth. Switched at Birth (TV) is fine; I just assumed a shorter version worked in the disambiguation. I'll go change it now!

Scenario - Training a service dog

[risal_soran]

In my opinion, 'Training a Service Dog for a Disabled Character' is redundant, since service dogs are for disabled people. 'Scenario - Disabled Character Trains a Service Dog' would work, or 'Scenario - Training One's Own Service Dog'.

Hello, thank you for the clarification! Your nomination have been approved.

Hello, thank you for the clarification! A shorter version is fine for disambiguation. Our query was about the fandom tag used to nominate the character/relationship tags as we prefer that canonical fandom tags are used to nominate tags and we were wondering if there was a reason not to use it in this case. Your nominations have been approved.
