Hi, I nominated the two Star Trek WB tags. With the first, it was definitely in reference to the events listed by obstinatecondolement above across multiple series. I used the most general Star Trek media tag I could find because I didn't care which particular series, if any, the creator chose to tie it to. I did phrase it a bit jokey so maybe it would be clearer if we put it as "WB: Starfleet guidelines about what to do when someone gets godlike powers".
With the 101 things, my intent was to reference Skippy's List aka "213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In the US Army." As the name suggests it's basically an old list of things a low-ranking soldier had to be told not to do, supposedly based on orders that the writer was either directly given or witnessed happen. There are also various fandom-flavored versions around. The worldbuilding would be whatever the in-universe equivalent in Starfleet might be. Maybe instead something like "WB: Starfleet equivalent of Skippy's List" or would that still be too prompt-like or require research? If it is, I'm fine to drop it.
