    To amplify that last bullet, especially in some RPF'dom, the pairing tag is actually the expected "fandom" - our imposition of "American Actor RPF" or "Historical RPF" or w/e is unusual. I'm not surprised to have it show up in other fandom trends.

      True, and yet another complication! We wouldn't want something tagged with both "Tommy Joe Ratliff - Fandom" and "Adam Lambert/Tommy Joe Ratliff - Fandom" showing up as a crossover.

      The tags I linked were meant to illustrate when fics are actively mistagged. They all specifically included the word "pairing", implying that the user didn't intend them as fandoms.
