When you look at a tag's landing page (reached by clicking on the tag's name while you're on the Works list), you can see that tag's subtags. Here are the subtags for Team:

Team Subtags

(Sub tags:
*Team Building
*Team Dynamics
**Team Sex
*Team Bonding
*Team Feels
*Team as Family
**Avengers Family
*Team Fluff)

If you click on (or filter by) Team, you will get all the works tagged with any of these subtags: Team Fluff, say, or Team Bonding. However, if you click on Team Building, you won't get works tagged only with Team Feels. So if you really love every aspect of teamy goodness, you'll probably want to choose the metatag Team, rather than clicking each of the subtags separately.

The tags that are indented extra - Team Sex and Avengers Family, are subtags of the tags right above them (Team Dynamics and Team As Family).

How about in reverse? When you look at a tag's landing page, you can also see the tag's metatags. Here are the metatags for Avengers Family:


Avengers Family metatags

(Meta tags:
* Team as Family
**Team
**Families of Choice
***Family)

This shows that Avengers Family is a subtag of Team as Family, meaning anytime someone filters for or clicks on Team as Family, if they don't exclude Marvel fandoms, they'll get works tagged Avengers Family.

In turn, Team as Family is a subtag of both Team and Families of Choice. Works tagged with Avengers Family and Team as Family will both show up under the filters of Team and Families of Choice. And since Families of Choice is a subtag of Family, anyone filtering by (or clicking on) Family will get everything up the line - except Team, which isn't directly above it.

Next up, how metatags help consumers!
