Speaking of AO3 collections . . .
Just in case anyone finds this useful (and maybe many people already do this or something similar), but I have a custom column called "fests" (well, actually #fests of course) and then I have this in my personal.ini:
include_in_fests:collections,freeformtags
And then I clean up the data a bit in replace_metadata and then use stuff in include_metadata_post to pull out specific things into my fests column. I call it "fests" but I use it for communities & challenges & cons & archives & other stuff. Basically lots of things where relevant data might show up in AO3's collections, but I wanted a short list.
Now I have stuff like Yuletide and all manner of fandom & ship specific fests & whatnot in my "Fests" column, just for the collections i find relevant. (And it's not cluttered up with collections made by individuals unless I want them there.)
I included freeformtags in addition to collections because occasionally there are fests mentioned in tags but not in collections (often on older works, with community tags). I use tag hierarchies too (to gather all the fests for a particular fandom or ship together), but sometimes don't bother. I put all the years of Yuletide under one Yuletide tag for instance.
I really love include_metadata_post these days; I also use it for a primary ship (#mainship) column.
