you can type "Phantom of the Opera - Leroux" and it will behave in all practical respects as if you'd entered the full thing.
(This works more conveniently with aliases that already exist -- you can find a tag's existing aliases on the tag's landing page, under the heading "Tags with the same meaning" -- because it will start working immediately.
Ooh, that's *very* useful! And I doubt I'd ever have found "the tag's landing page" by playing around at random (you basically have to click through twice from the link on a story; I was looking for something labelled 'landing page', but of course there isn't one).
It gives you all the existing forms of the character names, as well, so you don't have to search through other people's stories to find that Cosette is defined as "Cosette Fauchelevent" but the Phantom as "Erik | Phantom of the Opera" -- and it tells you the tag for the relevant general fandom, if any.
According to the Dreamwidth faq, this ought to work: https://igenlode.dreamwidth.org/tag/fic-meta,swedish?mode=and I need to bookmark that! 'mode=or' works, as well... I wonder if there are other options? Where did you find it in the FAQ? I did look quite extensively a few years back, but the nearest thing I could find was the tag:subtag syntax.
This is an awful lot more useful than having to define an entire subcategory for fic-metas of each separate story, for example... (though I'm quite glad I did go back to subdivide all the fiction: categories)
