baggins41 - That's my mistake. I didn't realize there was an setting for extracategories:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Plus, I used 'fandom' when it's really fandoms so category was coming out entirely empty.

(FYI: It's category and genre singular vs fandoms plural for most other metadata entries for 'historical reasons'.)

Changing the setting to include_in_category:category,fandoms does what I intended, but there's another wrinkle.

Most, but not all, stories have the 'content' tag 'MLP: FiM' which gets put into fandoms so now category would contain both: "MLP: FiM, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". (An example of a story with multiple fandoms. An example of a story without MLP: FiM in fandoms.)

That lead me to notice that many of tags have longer 'title' attributes. "MLP: FiM" has the full "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"; "Celestia"=>"Princess Celestia", etc (followed by a stories count that would be removed).

So here are the options that come to mind:
  1. Change only "MLP: FiM" to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" in fandoms for consistency with older downloads. Keep include_in_category:category,fandoms setting.
  2. Change all tags (fandoms, characters, etc) to the longer title attribute version, giving consistency for category and longer, more detailed tags, but inconsistencies compared to previously collected characters, etc.
  3. Same as one of the two above, but also remove extracategories:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic setting so stories without "MLP: FiM" tag (eg "Equestria Girls") don't get "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" in category.
  4. Remove the new include_in_category setting from defaults; category would go back to containing only "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and individual users can make their own choices regarding fandoms.
I would lean towards options 1 or 4 because they offer the most consistency and the least work for me.
But I don't read FimF, so I'd like to hear options from people who do before making the choice.
