This feature will not change fandom tags themselves, at all, except by attaching to them certain extra information (and in some cases, changing them from one pre-existing media category to another).
If you go to the movies section, you will probably encounter two fandom tags for your fandom, one for the movie-only version, and a 'metatag', usually formated 'HHGTG - All Media Types' (but in this case, just HHGTG: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Hitchhiker%27s%20Guide%20to%20the%20Galaxy). If you click on the metatag, you get all works tagged with either of the subtags (i.e. tagged with the movie version or the book version) any of its synonymous tags, or tagged directly with the metatag or one of its synonymous tags.
