Oh, I hope you aren't too upset at what I said - like I said, right now I'm just exploring around. And it surprised me as much as anyone when I realized why looking at those pages was making me grind my teeth, because I'd never really thought about it before. :D
The other things I noticed in the tags (and this might be more pervasive than I realize, it's just that it's the first time I've read an ENTIRE FANDOM on AO3 since I got my tag-wrangler privs) is that it struck me as odd that Johnny Marcone is the character canonical but it's just John Marcone in the relationship tags - is that standard AO3 practice and I just haven't picked up on it yet - where you use a well-recognized nickname as the canonical but use the legal name in the pairings? As someone who is learning the fandom by reading the slash, I found it mildly confusing.
Also not all of the relationship tags are parent/child to the character tags. Is that something that we're just not worrying about at the moment, since it doesn't really do anything the users can see yet?
Anyway all that together made me think that maybe whoever had it didn't have a lot of time to give it and would be glad to hand over responsibility, but since I see that's not the case, please strike the suggestion from the record!
For the record, I haven't touched anything yet, and I certainly don't plan on interfering in anyone else's fandoms without permission.
...the distinguishing from the TV character makes sense, but couldn't you have left out just one of the names? Just in case a demon comes looking? :D I know it doesn't change on my actual story, but a canonical shows up everywhere around the stories, and I have to use it to search. And I know y'all are tired of people whining about that over minor things by now, and beyond tired: I just never thought I'd hit a point where I cared about the difference enough to whine, and it rather startled me when I realized I had. And about this of all things!
