Line 38:
Tags can be used to denote a character's origin when a story suffers from a violation of the [[One Steve Limit]] -- [[Kimagure Orange Road|KOR]]!Akane vs. [[Ranma ½|R.5]]!Akane. They can also identify a specific version of a character or work when it had been done by different people and/or in different media since [[Depending on the Writer|those can vary wildly from the original source material]]. Sometimes this uses the name of the specific author or simply the form of the work ([[Fullmetal Alchemist|Manga!Pride, Anime!Greed]], [[The Phantom of the Opera|Leroux!Erik, or Movie!Phantom]]).
Likewise, the title of a given [[Fanfic]] 'verse, or an abbreviation thereof, can also be used to indicate the version of a character from that setting, particularly when there have been major changes to them: [[Undocumented Features|UF]]![[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Utena]], [[Sailor Moon Expanded|SME]]![[Sailor Moon|Jadeite]], [[Cat-Tales
Because this kind of tagging is ad hoc and in no way formalized, it's common to see unusual and/or idiosyncratic tags that indicate some truly wild variants, such as Cyborg![[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Xander]] or [[Book of Amber|Amberite]]![[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]].
