Fanlore is an incredible resource, but right now, it’s not tied as tightly to AO3 as Open Doors is. While I have some potential ideas (linking tags from AO3 to Fanlore entries, perhaps?), I would need to speak in detail with the Fanlore team about what their wants and needs are before pushing any specific suggestions.
(from Harlan's Q&A)
oh wow i've had that exact same thought a while ago! (except for the "i would need to speak with the team" part because it's more "i don't really know how this can be achieved and will now forget about it for months" for me of course). being able to look unfamiliar stuff up on fanlore would be nice so i thought of making an extension for adding fanlore buttons to tags and then realized it could attract too much traffic to fanlore that they might not want to deal with if it were to get popular... hopefully something can get made out of this that would make everyone happy :) (i know that this site has been in beta for 17 years and i'm being very optimistic...)
