First off, I know that the Library code is a pain in the bum for the admins to tweak, but here's to hoping this request isn't as difficult and is as helpful as I imagine it to be!
Currently, there exists an inconvenience with city and commune libraries that can potentially grow to something that will be a pain to remedy.

Although I completely understand and empathize with what you're saying here, Siam (from my work in the Serenwilde, I don't remember even being half as organized as yours. That looks meticulously painful). I don't actually understand what solution you are proposing that would be simple.
The problem, obvious from the staggering number of unique topics, is that the very subject system is too simplistic to handle the sheer number of creative works we have amassed as is. As demonstrated, without some level of filtering, it has become so bloated as to become nigh useless for its practical purpose.
All I can think of is a system where there are different "levels", if you will, of topics to choose from (or assign to). For example, SUBJECT LIST instead gives a list of a few broad topics, such as "geography" "history" "poetry" etc. From here you have the option to further browse subject history, for example, and get a more refined list like "History - Serenwilde" "History - Glomdoring" "HIstory - Ackleberry" etc. etc. And be able to append to it, making more "levels" as needed, when in the future multiple works covering the same subject make it necessary. At any time you could LIST HISTORY SERENWILDE and recieve a list of all published works with those flags. Many of them are currently defined under the same manner anyway, but having every single unique subject displayed at once is clearly unworkable. This is basically a means to filter the irrelevant topics first, and open only those you specifically ask for.
I know nothing of the coding involved, although I have heard the rumors about its complexity. Would this sort of thing even be possible?
