Crown Description:
Fan Preferred Couple is too narrow and faces a misuse problem where tropers list it for official/canon couples, despite the trope being about noncanon couples that the fans like. What should be done to fix it?Define "official pairing" as Official Couples, Maybe Ever Afters, or those confirmed by Word of God to have been an intended romance.
Rework the description so it's clear that it A. Needs an official pairing to overshadow, and B. Must be more popular by a significant margin
Allow characters in official pairings to have multiple entries for fanon ships more popular than the canon ship
Make a concrete system to tell when a pairing is more popular than the others (for example, requiring evidence that one ship is more popular than the canon pairing)
Broaden it to include any ship that's more popular than a canon/creator-preferred ship
