The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

Wow, it exists in some form! *cheers*

I was really hoping there could be a version on the Upload form, rather than the generic feedback; but I guess that's just too advanced for an archive in beta. It'd be really awesome if it could warn you when a tag was unique, or have a little "this should be linked to" box, something like that. Remembering what I wanted linked and where so that I can go to the Feedback page afterward is kind of difficult, because I have a memory like Swiss cheese.

Still, at least there's one way to suggest that "x should be linked to y" -- thank you!

Yes, there exists a way to make a tag-wrangling suggestion.

Of course, they may choose to ignore your knowledge of the fandom and the actual real use of various tags, and tell you what's best by giving you a tag no one knows about and will never use and not fixing the actual problem you pointed out.

(That was the incident that opened my eyes to how fucked up tag-wrangling is on the AO3, how badly handled it is. It's the reason I listened so much during the election to other people's problems with tag-wrangling in its current form and came to hate the whole damn thing.)
