Do this need to be split into multiple subtags? Milky Highway is just a 4-minute short, so how do you tell whether something is Milky Highway or Milky Subway?

I have been considering that take on the matter at hand. There will of course be some posts that are clearly associated with a specific work, e.g. because they depict a scene from Milky Highway (post #10026331) or characters that only appear in Milky Subway (post #10972545). But there will be many posts where no such association exists (post #10868830). The franchise might grow to encompass other works, but it also might not. Similar questions can be raised about other hierarchical copyright tags and the posts they are applied to.

Since Milky Highway is indeed just one short film, I don't think it's unreasonable to treat it (and tag it) as a de-facto prologue to Milky Subway. And if we do, I don't think it would be useful to keep Milky Galactic Universe as a parent tag. It could be resurrected if/when another major work is added to the franchise. The BUR above is intended to implement this option. I'm posting it to gauge opinion.
