there someway to report an incorrect tag wrangling on AO3?

There's a fic with a ship tag that wrangles to "[canon character]/OC" except the "OC" in question is a canonical character.

Like. A minor character, yes, but there is a whole canonical sequence where this is relevant.

(I remember this because it caused a fuss in the fandom about "what the FUCK this is such bullshit, that character would NEVER do this, it's character derailment!" I also checked against the game script, and searched through the fic for context to be sure and the fic is, in fact, referring to this canonical character not an OC)

#ao3 #archive of our own #unrelated to that but i wanna know if they're still planning to separate out some tags that they said they were years ago #but never actually did because it's really weird #looking for the 'everybody is safe the entire time' tag and getting redirected to the #'everything goes including characters being graphically tortured to death #while begging for their lives to killers who are getting off on their struggles' tag #like yes 'everything goes' includes 'nobody gets hurt' but it's y'know kinda odd to group them together like that #people who want to reach both audiences already tag both ways despite them both wrangling to the same place #because it's the only possible way to signal to your specific audience that they'll find what they actually want there...
