My own example wasn't actually fanfiction, I just grabbed something that said harrypotter as an example. It's someone grabbing text from pottermore and making it into a book sort of. At least I think that's what it was, as I said I just grabbed something I know said harrypotter in the tags.

I'ce seen wattpad is bad about Freeform Tags. Blah. If places are going to do that they should have 2 types of tags, one normal with a setup more akin to genre qith limitations, things like romance, drama, supernatural and such and a freeform section where people can do whatever the heck they want as tags. It's their site, access to the stories is good enough I suppose

Alright, now I figured out what I was doing wrong. I don't know why I'd gotten it in my head that the && inclusion meant that it was a part of the replace, thus making the tag appear in the category & character in the stated case, but I understand what you said. I must have got it mixed up a long time ago, because I've tried several times to make it work like I thought and never could. Drove me nuts. I guess sometimes when you get something in your head.

As for copying tags and doing the include/exclude I'll probably get to that, but maybe it'll be just better to leave as is. The only fix I suggest for the future is the tag/category fix.

Thanks for the time straightening my head out.
