Topic: Crossing over is heavy meta

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

...What I mean to say is, shouldn't crossover be a meta tag instead of general? I admittedly don't know much about why it should, other than it being a slightly better fit, but if tags like lol_comments and multiple_images (a common way for crossovers to be tagged, mind you) can be meta, I don't see why not. Among other reasons that I'm forgetting at this moment (^^').

It's just a edit-locked tag, so I figured some inter-member discussion is a good idea first before someone more privileged considers making any changes.

I do think Crossovers should be a meta tag, it's taking two or more IPs and inserting them into one.
In such a case, it's going beyond the character's individual worlds and connecting them. That in-itself is meta.

BT dubs, it's not something like sound_warning, where a different category is used for accessibility purposes, correct? (Not that anyone present in this forum would know, assuming.)

Why would crossover, in particular, need special treatment vis-a-vis accessibility? The only reason you can't just change the category yourself is because it has more than 100 posts - an anti-vandalism measure.
