My new system of using different punctuation in front of each "category" (author, artist, pairing, character) worked really well so long as I was tracking one fandom

I cannot use punctuation of any kind for my tags. I would get so confused by adding prefaces to things, even just remembering what I have used as a tag for a theme, character, etc all the time is becoming tricky now that I am also falling in with several fandoms (and have always been monofannish previously). Instead I try to tag in a way that those looking at my tags alone, or in their bundles, will understand what the tag is meant for

Someone else has answered for American Idol, so I'll try to answer for Trek.
In my personal del account, I don't care. I tag for me :) For everyone else, most don't demarcate -- meaning it's just startrek. Though I have seen st:xi, startrek:xi, st:reboot, startrek:reboot, most are just startrek.
And, yeah, this will be like the third iteration of my tags. I hate redoing them, though, because it feels like I've failed the previous times.
No no, you're not failing! You're learning what hasn't worked. I guess the biggest benefit with my very basic system of tagging is that my intention is for readability and searchability, and my bundling convience be damned. And oh, how bundling is challenging sometimes.
Thanks for that tip for Star Trek. I think I'll stick with that, and other tags might emerge later.

It is consistently in the most used tags for all the popular AI fic.
