Re: Things that ought to be tagged...

The most common one I always come across is improperly tagging the fandom itself. Is it movie, musical, TV, game, comic, era?? All fandom is like "did not chose to use archive warnings" but don't tag The Flash (comics) with The Flash (TV) when writing a Justice League fic based on the movie characters.

Modern AU was another one in a few fandoms. I was so mad because they tied it with the wrong canon tag too at times. So annoying.

There was also a trend for characters (male, in relatively recent historical settings) wearing make-up? Like they got dolled up in mascara and lipstick? The characters very much did not wear makeup, but obviously the actors did, and it was just a really weird thing to come across. I have no idea what they were thinking.

There are so many. I've come across a lot of what you've mentioned too. And while a lot of them don't /need/ tags if they simply exist and aren't really a thing, it's still strange.

Oh man yes to this. I love the adaptions of Tolkien, but I tend to mostly read book fics. But sometimes I'm in the mood for movie or tv fics. Either way, though, it is annoying when they aren't properly tagged.

Sometimes I know it's just because an author is new and doesn't know how to tag properly... but there are also those who seem to do it intentionally, and I'm always so annoyed by it.

I don't read a lot of Tolkien fics, but with every adaption and offshoot, I can't even imagine the mess of tags between Books, 1st Movies, Reboots, Merged, and any and all that falls in between. It must be such a headache.
I know it's not that simple, but I really wish people would just tag a singular canon. It'd make things so much easier.
