Okay, so I noticed on the main page that it says on the bottom that it is also known as "sideshipping". I think "Ship Mates" sounds more like Friendly Fandoms involving shipping, whereas "sideshipping" sounds more like Pair the Spares to make way for a Fan-Preferred Couple. What do you all think?

Should I or someone else then put "sideshipping" through YKTTW?

Uh, do you mean renaming this trope to 'sideshipping' and YKTTW'ing the trope that was previously listed under Ship Mates?

Called crowner to define Ship Mates as "Fandom Pairing the Spares to make way for the Fan-Preferred Couple (the original definition)".

New crowner needed for the next decision.

Crown Description:

Ship Mates was launched (and is still defined on some other pages) with one definition. Somehow, at some point, it was changed to another entirely different definition, on which a good number of examples are currently based. Which definition should hold?

(A future crowner will determine what happens to the "losing" definition.)
