Hey Guys,

Okay I’m trying to workout the AO3 tagging mess, and I thought I had the solution but nope. I’ve tried the whole =>^.*[Aa}bcd.*|.*[Bb]aaa.*$=>ABCD thing but it just ends up changing things I don’t want changed.
So instead I just want to adjust entire tags, let me give you an example of what I’ve done:

So first I make sure to tackle the random naming of the fandoms:
category=>^the 100|The 100 $TV$|Clexa $Madi$|clexa - Fandom|The 100$Tv Series$$=>the 100
so far so good

Next up characters:
characters=>^Abigail "Abby" Griffin$|^Abby$|^Abby Griffin$=>Abigail "Abby" Griffin&&category==the 100

Abby Griffin –e Changes into Abigail "Abby" Griffin which correct
(example stories)

Spoiler:

But at the same time, this fails:
Abby Griffin – Does not change
(example stories)

Spoiler:

It just all seems so completely random to me, one changes and the other doesn’t. The only clear difference I see is the fandom, but I tackled that one first.

So please tell me what am I not getting here?
