The franchise's official website calls it "My-HiME and My-Otome series" (舞-HiME・舞-乙HiMEシリーズ). So, technically, this is the official name of the franchise.

Not sure about that first line. What if a post legitimately contains elements from both series?

Secondly, I went to that website, and didn't see any strong references at all to the above naming scheme. There was 舞-HiME、舞-乙HiMEシリーズ in one of the comments, and there was also 舞-HiME・舞-乙HiMEシリーズ in the page title, but that to me is like saying "This site has series X and also series Y".

Even without the above, and this is just my personal opinion, but that tag name is just bad... <__<

If an umbrella tag is desired, a much better tag IMO would be My-Otohime, but maybe that's just me.

Just go through the my-otome posts and re-add it. It's not this series has thousands of posts. At most, look up the name of each My-HiME character together with the My-Otome tag, and hope it's not mistagged, as the franchise is a star system, and many My-Otome characters have designs recycled from My-HiME. Any result you get from such a two-tag search is automatically an image with elements from both series, and the only characters that can cause false flags are Mai and Takumi, as they are only ones with shared names across both series, at least as far as I remember.

From my experience, シリーズ can be used to refer to a franchise. For example, Hiroaki Hirata's website lists his Narrator role in Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 merely as "Digimon Adventure series", so, with the use of 舞-HiME・舞-乙HiMEシリーズ in the page title seems like it is saying "This is the franchise name".

I'm really against using a made-up name like "My-Otohime" as the umbrella tag. At most, if REALLY we can't call it My-HiME and My-Otome series, then my next suggestion is My-HiME Project, the name used by Japanese Wikipedia.

I could go along with that...

Looking again, my-hime my-otome is only 10 pages long, while my-otome is 66. I removed the first line, as I only put it because I assumed all My-Otome images were also tagged with my-hime. I'll check those images personally.

Okay, only after my last post I understood what you were saying. The title of the webpage can be interpreted as "My-HiME, and also the My-Otome series". I guess that's a problem with coming up with an umbrella tag.

However, HiME is technically present in all titles in the franchise and despite only My-Otome having a sequel and prequels, My-HiME still came first. I guess we can call it my-hime (series) since, besides the series we have images for, there's also My-HiME Rhapsody Nekohime Blog, which we don't have images on this site as of the time of this post. The text on that page does contain the term "My-HiME series" (舞-HiMEシリーズ) in the announcements. However, the heading of the ''Others'' page makes a point of including both My-HiME and My-Otome on it.

But I think I found something that may solve this. The My-HiME EXA section of the site contains an interview with Ryō Suzukaze and someguy whose name I can't translate, and it uses the term "My series" (舞シリーズ), and seems to be the only instance of this term as far as I can find now. Do we want to use this term as the catchall tag, and with this spelling? (The alternate would be "Mai series") My only objection is that it looks kinda weird, but I can live with it.

Also, both "My-HiME series" (舞-HiMEシリーズ) and "My-Otome series" (舞-乙HiMEシリーズ) are terms used in different parts of the site. Do we want to do anything with this information?

EDIT: Fixed typo.

I'll repeat it shorter. The My-HiME EXA section of the site uses the term "My Series" (舞シリーズ), and is the only part of the site to do so. Do we want to use this as the franchise name?

Also, the terms "My-Hime series" and "My-Otome series" are used in different parts of the website. Do we want to do anything with this information?
