I can easily remove the pairing from ships with replace_metadata. But I can't figure out how to do this while keeping the pairing in the tag list - if it isn't a separate tag or character, removing it from ships removes it from the tags. I thought about ships2chars, somehow putting this ship into Characters, but as far as I can tell I can't use that to accomplish what I want (though I have to admit I don't completely understand what ship2chars does and can't find much about it in default.ini or here in the forums, so I definitely could be wrong).

Because you both want to edit
ships and not edit
ships in different places, you need to make a copy of
ships:
Code:
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,onlyromships
include_in_onlyromships:ships
Entry
onlyromships is now a copy of
ships. Remove '&' entries from
onlyromships and set it into your ships column.
replace_metadata lines for
onlyromships will not effect
ships.
Alternatively, you could do:
Code:
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,allships
include_in_allships:ships.NOREPL
Entry
allships is now a copy of
ships that won't have any of
ships' replacements (.NOREPL==no replacements). But then you have to change
include_subject_tags to use
allships instead of
ships which involves more steps.
ships2chars isn't really a feature of FFF so much as a use pattern to add all characters that appear in
ships to
characters for sites/authors that don't list them all. Searching this thread for
ships2chars (note ship
s) finds a number of posts where it was discussed.
(Make sure you only have one
add_to_extra_valid_entries in each section, BTW.)
