Some of these could also be tagged as nonstandard furigana, if they aren't already.

Definitely tag any that are missing the tag. My Japanese isn't good enough to do the sweep myself.

As I am in a pool clean up mood, what of pool #4603? This pool is supposed to be for very detailed commentaries that reveal a lot about the artwork in question. While I think that's a good idea, how do we want to execute it? Pretty sure it has to be a meta tag at least. What of the scope? I believe it's supposed to be "the commentary tells a story in and of itself", but I'd like a second opinion or two before doing anything.

I think some of the posts in that pool can go under story in commentary. Though the tag seems to have a slightly broader definition.

I'm worried this may become too meta, but meh. I'll rename it to fancy embedded notes to match the pool title.

A lot of users such as myself don't frequent the forums very often.

Just now I attempted to add a post to Fancy Notes, only to find that it had ceased to exist.

Over the past year I couldn't help but notice as one after another, pools which I occasionally browse kept vanishing. I assumed that was just the direction the site was going and there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Regardless of that inability, I nevertheless feel compelled now to very strongly disagree with this action.

You can disagree very strongly with it, but that won't change the direction we're headed in. Even before evazion made the comments he did which inspired these pool conversions, he had publicly expressed his distain for collection pools conceptually and how they should just be tags instead. It's just now that the winds have allowed for action to be taken against them, complete with a brand new BUR command to make it easier than ever to convert them to tag.

I mean, I also don't really see the issue, especially in this specific case. Sure there's been a few tags where it the move was less than clean when the concept didn't really fit into a tag, but those are comapratively rare. Was there a specific problem you found with how fancy embedded notes was handled? Because in most cases, these conversions are just semantics.
