Should the [1984] tag be changed?
Sounds like a good time for a tag synonym.
I'd recommend making the nineteen-eighty-four tag and then getting the CMs to make 1984 a synonym. That way, if anyone tries to use just "1984", it will ...

Why was a user able to post a question with just the 'untagged' tag?
I added the blacklist to all sites back in 2015.
Literature didn't exist then, so it didn't get the blacklist. We should probably get in the habit of adding it during site creation, but for now I've ...
