NA

But isn't that because the Character A/Character B tag and the Character A tag are separate? And it's not like you can syn those - people who click Character A/Character B don't also want all other fics with Character A in them. Be pissed at people who don't tag relationships and characters, not at the tag logic.

You could sync them at first upload. Basically:

If relationship tag is not blank:

character1 = x
character2 = y

if character1 is not in tags

add character1

if character2 is not in tags

add character2

DA

By syn, they meant equivalent. I'm sure it's technically not difficult to add characters A and B if the work is tagged canonical and fully wrangled A/B, but unlike you, they (and I) don't think that should be intended behavior because relationship A/B should not equal characters A and B. Plenty of fic exist where A/B is an appropriate tag and character A and/or character B less so.

nayrt

that kind of situation is rare tbh

and they syn all kinds of stuff that are far less equivalent

If there's a character, relationship, or No Fandom (click tag landing, see parent tags) freeform you think shouldn't be synned, I'd be happy to fix that.

Oh hey, nayrt but could you or someone from Marvel wrangling un-syn "Bucky!Cap" from "Steve Rogers as the Winter Soldier"?

Not on Marvel, but requested!

I'm contemplating. You could possibly add a "did you mean to make these tags?" screen.

As a wrangler I really wish we had this. Relationship tags get the character tags added as parent tags for... some reason? I've never understood why, since that doesn't actually do anything.

It makes it simple to see all the relationship tags associated with a character. I think that's it.
