To-do list:
- Move wicks for platonic relationships that are perceived as romantic by the audience to Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading, and leave other examples of one type of relationship being perceived as another by the audience under Relationship Writing Fumble (or alternatively, move them to a different subtrope of Relationship Writing Fumble if they fit). Sandbox.Wick Cleaning Fumble is being used to keep track of which namespaces have been cleaned.
Since both Relationship Writing Fumble and Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading are YMMV, wicks are only allowed on YMMV pages.
We touched on ways to try to improve the trope in that other thread and considered a few solutions:
- Changing the name of Relationship Writing Fumble to something emphasizing that this is about platonic relationships being mistaken as romantic.
- There might be a Missing Supertrope about writers accidentally implying different relationships between characters than what was intended, which is why people are dumping those kinds of examples on Relationship Writing Fumble.

I'd say make a supertrope named Relationship Writing Fumble, then move the current information on Relationship Writing Fumble to a new name.

I put a crowner in the other thread related to this one.
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!

I mean... The crowner ought to be on TRS.
And obviously "relationship" is a pre-existing term. It does not merely refer to romantic relationships. The problem seems to be that it's a/the missing supertrope.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I agree with renaming this and reusing the name for a new supertrope.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I voted on the crowner in the other thread, but I also agree we should create a supertrope and rename Relationship Writing Fumble.
Oissu!

Can someone provide a courtesy link to this other thread and also the crowner?
If the crowner is for Relationship Writing Fumble, it ought to be listed in this discussion, no...?

The crowner as I remember it wasn't for Relationship Writing Fumble, one of the ideas just happened to be adding a super-trope along with the voted-upon Designated Love Interest reforms.

Looks like it's called already.

For some reason it looked like I could still vote earlier today. At any rate, Sandbox.Relationship Writing Fumble is up, a quick draft for the supertrope option. Someone will need to make a draft for the transplanted trope before it can be moved over.

So we need to go TLP the new draft, or...?

I added a bit to the draft, but I think for the most part it's okay as long as everyone says it's good to go.

I know I've seen Fan-Preferred Couple in TRS before, do we correctly describe the updated definition in the sandbox?
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
For a new name I suggest Informed Platonicity
So we're doing all three green options, right?
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Yes. We just need to get moving on it.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I can't think of any names, but I like the one that's already been posted.
Edit: Actually, I thought of a name. Maybe Designated Platonicity could work as a counterpart to Designated Love Interest.
Edit: Or maybe Supposedly Platonic Relationship, or Allegedly Platonic Relationship.

Seems a little clunky, but I can't think of anything better.

Crown Description:
Consensus was to rename Friendship Writing Fumble due to issues with the name (particularly, the fact that it can refer to platonic relationships other than friendships, such as familial ones). What should its new name be?
