Rumetzen Testing

Note: if a tag "supersedes" another tag, that means it is used in place of that/those tag(s) if it is applicable. For example, a story might fit the historical-earth, no-fantasia, low-technology, and realistic requirements. Realistic supersedes no-fantasia and low-technology, so the story would get realistic and historical-earth. If tags are exclusive, that means they typically are not used together, though they can be if there is a strong justification for it within the text (eg time travel, world-hopping, shifting style etc). Nested tags require the tag they are nested in.
