That's a good point. It's a bit hard for me to notice how people from sites like Tumblr might be confused by tagging systems that I find totally logical, because I'm usually the one getting confused by Tumblr-based tags. I have so much trouble working out the ship names people mean sometimes!
Still, it's so confusing when people tag the fandoms wrong - because Classic Who is such a smaller fandom that when a non-negligible percentage of the Ten/Rose and Twelve/Clara writers tag their works in the Classic Who fandom, it clutters the fandom a lot and makes it so much harder to find any of the stuff I'm looking for. Of course I can filter, but it's frustrating when I first have to filter out the stuff that doesn't belong there in the first place. Maybe at some point I will make it my mission to point this out politely and nicely to people...
Yay, I'm glad I've been using the fandom tags correctly! It seemed the most logical like that. I've noticed that they do automatically end up under the meta-tag above, since often in exchanges some people will use the "Doctor Who" tag so it shows up in the fandoms as well, but also contains works that have only been tagged under the 2005 or 1963 tags.
