(DA x2 combo) I can see the value of "you have to pick the four most important characters", since AO3's model makes it impossible to filter for the fics in which Glup Shitto is actually the focus as opposed to just showing up for half a sentence -- I don't think FFN's model is the better one overall, though. But the other tag types are pretty straightforwardly improvements, especially the additional tags (FFN's version is literally nothing lol)

Yeah, I think having a way to designate a pairing as the primary pairing would be a huge improvement to AO3 tagging (very much speaking as someone who ships the #2 most popular pairing in a juggernaut megafandom, lol). But everything else about AO3 tagging is so much better.

NA

I agree that a native function to designate the main pairing would be nice but at the same time, authors can also clarify in the tags when certain pairings are just in the background, which would also allow for easier searches.

The cynical part of me things that authors who don't do that just want the extra visibility of popping up in searches for both pairings. And I don't think that a main pairing option would make much of a difference to those authors.

yeah, I agree you'd have to force it, which is its own problem. but god is it annoying to search for a pairing and not get anything that focuses on it in the tags.
