My shower thought of the day: What if we had some sort of family tree that listed trope relationships? I'm no programming master (or even a programming padawan), so I don't know how feasible it is, but I just thought it would be nifty to be able to see a trope's sister tropes and subtropes, as well as their subtropes, at a glance. That could help with organisation and prevent "trope incest" situations where a trope's subtrope's subtrope is itself supertrope of the first trope.

Thoughts? Horrible idea? Cool, but unfeasible? Already a thing?

At one time, there was a widget on pages that showed their sub-, super-, and sister tropes, but IIRC it was removed.

Bumping to gauge interest in getting this back in some form.

I think it would be a cool toy for the toolbox. But I wouldn't want it cluttering up the trope pages.

This may be worth implementing with the tags of 2.0.

It's already in the general concept for 2.0. As such, there's no need to look at it separately here.
