Filtering/Blocking Works in the Merlin AO3 Tag (Using Tag ID Numbers)

by the_bi_ballerina

Summary

This is a guide on filtering fanworks in the "Merlin (TV)" fandom on AO3, particularly for the sake of saving filters according to your individual preferences.

This includes a list of tag ID numbers for notable tags under the Merlin fandom tag. That way, you can filter and search by tag IDs rather than tag names, and thus preempt the possibility of losing your filters if a tag name changes.

For more general information and tools that support filtering and blocking on AO3, not specific to any particular fandom, see the collection which contains this work (and its parent collection).

Notes

Please let me know if you find that I made any mistakes or mislabeled any of the tag IDs!

Chapter 2: Additional Merlin Tags

Chapter Summary

These tags aren't as popular/notable. I am unlikely to assemble a comprehensive list anytime soon, because that would be rather tedious, and users can easily seek out tag IDs for individual tags they are interested in filtering by. However, since I happen to have already have collected the IDs for these tags, I will list them here.

End Notes

I originally assembled this list after a conversation in the Land of Myth gen-focused Discord server. Feel free to contact me if you would like an invite link to the server. For more publicly posted resources inspired by conversations there, see the merlingen Dreamwidth community.
