If you search the thread you will be able to find me explaining many times in the past that as long as AO3 allows authors to put whatever random tags they want on stories, wrangling AO3 tags is going to be a losing effort. Nothing you come up with will be perfect.
I will help with specific problems, but I choose not to plow the sea.

so far so good
Next up characters:
characters=>^Abigail "Abby" Griffin$|^Abby$|^Abby Griffin$=>Abigail "Abby" Griffin&&category==the 100
...
But at the same time, this fails:
Abby Griffin – Does not change

So please tell me what am I not getting here? |
In your two failure cases, the first is a Due South story, not 'the 100', and the second is
The 100, not
the 100. Regex is case sensitive. Use pattern "[tT]he 100" or add 'The 100' your category normalizing pattern.
