Not sure. They're basically dictionary synonyms, but "oblivious" has a connotation of "hopelessly ignorant" whereas "unaware" is more neutral, e.g. "unaware she's being watched". Noting that clueless is an alias of oblivious, which maybe helps illustrate that.

It would be good to clarify the difference on the wiki pages and add examples on unaware (oblivious already has some).

Maybe some of these are good examples for unaware (none of these are also tagged oblivious):

Contrast to oblivious (none of these are tagged unaware):

There are probably a lot of posts that should be tagged both, though. They're mostly tagged only one or the other at the moment, but here are some examples with both:

The wiki for "unaware" indicates specifically that the character is unaware "of another" (implicitly "another character") - but that's not always the case in its usage - various examples above show a character being unaware of their situation (generally absence of clothes).
