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.

Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I moved Friendship Writing Fumble's wicks to the new name.

Main/ is dewicked and accounted for on the sandbox. Had to remove a lot of wicks on non-YMMV pages per What Goes Where on the Wiki, but it's no big loss because most of it was using pages for objective tropes to editorialize, often with natter or Word Cruft.

Took care of F/, so everything from A through G (including Chararacters/) is taken care of.

I'm taking a break from cleaning wicks to clean up on-page examples, which hopefully won't take long.

On-page examples are done, so only wicks are left. I haven't been feeling the best lately, so I don't feel like going through the wicks right now, but once I feel up to it, it shouldn't take long.

Finally wrapped this up, so closing.

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?
OK, the page is moved. Since some wicks were already moved to Friendship Writing Fumble (which I left as a redirect), here they are
