There's several different things going on here.

First

As given, this is broken:

[base_xenforoforum]
include_in_category:category,tagsfromtitle,parentf orums
 Category=>genre,tagsfromtitle
skip_threadmarks_categories:Staff Post
order_threadmarks_by_date:true

I'll assume the space in "parentf orums" is an artifact of copy/paste, but "Category=>genre,tagsfromtitle" isn't valid there.

Maybe you wanted something like:

[base_xenforoforum]
include_in_category:category,tagsfromtitle,parentforums,genre

## or maybe:
add_to_include_in_category:,genre

(For issues the Second thru Fourth)

You posted:

# section [base_xenforoforum] assumed
add_to_replace_metadata:
 (Harry Potter|Wizarding World)=>HP
 (Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid)=>Metal Gear

I instead suggest:

[base_xenforoforum:epub] 
add_to_replace_metadata:
 category=>^(Harry Potter|Wizarding World)$=>HP
 category=>^Metal Gear Solid$=>Metal Gear

Second

add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum] in personal.ini replaces add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum] in defaults.ini. See wiki page and search for "another non-intuitive complication".

[base_xenforoforum] is unique in FFF's default.ini for having a bunch of processing in add_to_replace_metadata for tagsfromtitle. The alternative was a hard coded processing.

Alternatives include putting your add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum:epub], or the individual site sections, or [defaults] in personal.ini.

Third

In the same code sample, you're applying those lines to all metadata entries, such as characters and description. It would be better, IMO, to limit them to the category entries you're trying to fix.

And use ^ and $ to only apply them when it's the whole entry. Otherwise, a few months from now you're left wondering why "Wizarding World War II" is becoming "HP War II" or whatever.

Fourth

(Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid) matches the string "Metal Gear Solid", replaces the Metal Gear part -- with "Metal Gear" and leaves the " Solid", yielding... "Metal Gear Solid". Just remove that part of the regex. You don't need to replace "Metal Gear" with "Metal Gear" anyway.

I expect your QQ issues come from the add_to_replace_metadata problem.

I removed your NSFW link, BTW. Please use PM when you can't use a SFW link to demonstrate a problem.

does this means that this will apply only when the tag is for example "Wizarding World" but not if the tag is "Wizarding Worlds"?

Also, there's a fic that get's tagged as "Saga Of Tanya The Evil, Tanya the Evil (Sort-of), Tanya the evil" tanya the evil get's repeated three times. something like

category=>^ (Saga Of Tanya The Evil|Tanya the Evil \(Sort-of\)|Tanya the evil)$=>Youjo Senki

would be fine? I ask becuase of the multiple tanya's there

Thanks for your detailed response. I'll try your suggestions
