When I split myself in the womb, my brother inherited my sanity. And I, his sarcasm.

You have a lot to live for.

And if I told you that you are the only one who stayed by your side, then what?

AO3 is possibly doing away with "All Media Types" tags and that could be bad for Star Wars material (among many others)

Links to Reddit and Tumblr posts detailing the issue:

Reddit:

AO3 has started removing All Media Types tags.

AO3's policy on All Media Types tags is a disaster for anime fandom

Tumblr:

New AO3 Tag Wrangling Policy and the Transformers Fandom

recoiling in horror bc the "sherlock holmes and related fandoms" tag is gone

My understanding is that "All Media Types" tags are starting to disappear from certain fandoms on AO3, and if this is indeed the direction the site is headed in, the Star Wars tags are going to be a hot mess. As the post New AO3 Tag Wrangling Policy and the Transformers Fandom explains, the All Media Types tags help keep works from different parts of the same media types from being classified as Crossovers, which is...kind of important when talking about Star Wars as well.

Like, ignoring the fact that the majority of Star Wars movies, TV shows, books, and video games have characters and timelines that overlap one another, we also had an an EU reset a decade ago, which resulted in a split between Legends and Canon. And, I can't speak for the entire fandom, but I know plenty of writers who like to pick aspects they like from each and stick them in the same story.

Consider: Would a story involving sequel-trilogy Leia remembering an event that occurred during the original trilogy suddenly be considered a Crossover (which would exclude it from the search results of a ton of people who avoid Crossovers that mix franchises, but who would actually be interested in the story since it's the same dang franchise)? Would a story detailing the entirety of Obi-Wan's life be considered a Crossover? The implications of such a decision are not great.

It is being suggested that we voice our opinions (politely) using AO3's Support and Feedback form. I'm going to do so, and if this is something that concerns you, you might speak up as well. Hopefully if enough people say something, they'll either stop retiring the tags or will come up with another solution, because this is madness for so many fandoms.
