big day for tagging fans: i did in fact file a support ticket to ao3 to fix their eating disorder tags. the issues are:

EDNOS and OSFED are not synned. OSFED is erroneously synned with 'Eating Disorders.' ENDOS is a canonical subtag of 'Eating Disorders.' (Also OSFED should probably be the primary tag, since it's the current name.)

'disordered eating' for some reason isn't canonical or synned with anything, even though multiple variations of it (ex. 'tw: disordered eating') are synned with 'eating disorders.'

the variations of 'disordered eating' probably shouldn't be synned with 'eating disorders' at all since they aren't actually the same thing.

ANYWAY that's my thrilling adventures in tagging. i think the ao3 tagging team is extremely fantastic & they have actually been fixing many issues with the ed-related tags but these ones seem to have slipped through

#this is like. my irl job. true story. not ao3 specifically obviously but Tagging Things #Categorization. etc.#i have been called into like six billion meetings about usability vs socially conscious tagging recently #my personal stance is socially conscious tagging is actually a usability issue #but you do also need to be really thoughtful about what on a practical level is going to be functional #anyway i did this instead of doing my ED homework but w/e thats fine
