To-do list:
- Finish adjusting the description of Mistaken for Romance. The definition for Mistaken for Romance was expanded, so change the description to describe the expanded definition (any type of relationship confused for romantic love) rather than the previous, narrower definition (platonic love confused for romantic love). Sandbox.Mistaken For Romance can be used to draft this rewrite.
OP by Twiddler
Shipping Goggles is currently a Definition Only Page. However, as seen in this sandbox, there are a number of wicks for in-universe examples.According to Wick, a trope needs at least 24 wicks to be non-starving. The sandbox collects 24 wicks: 18 examples and 6 in-line wicks. There are also several wicks to the page from indexes.
Therefore, I propose reclassifying Shipping Goggles as In-Universe Examples Only.

I removed Strictly Professional Relationship as a subtrope, since according to its description, it involves feelings of attraction that are not acted upon.
I kind of figured we'd need to adjust the subtrope list, but didn't look into it around when I trimmed the description.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.Swapped in the sandbox's current contents since it hasn't been edited in three days, and clocked the thread. If the clock runs out without any major changes being made/proposed to the description for Mistaken for Romance, the thread will be closed (since adjusting Mistaken for Romance's description was the only remaining task before this thread can be sent back to the Morgue).
Edit: Neglected to mention that I'm not cutting Sandbox.Mistaken For Romance yet, in case anyone has more changes to make/propose.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.I'm just going to close this because I figured if further clarifications are needed, it can go through the Trope Description Improvement Drive, because I think the current description at least accurately fits the revised definition regardless of whether the wording needs any minor tweaks.

Crown Description:
Broadening Mistaken For Romance (currently limited to familial/platonic love confused for romantic love) as described here was suggested. This would allow the In Universe examples of Shipping Goggles to be moved there. Should this be done?
I made some tweaks to the draft. I cut out the second paragraph because it was pretty reliant on the old friendship-specific definition, and elsewhere in the description, I changed references to friendships to references to relationships in general. One type of relationship I added to the list of types of relationships was business partnerships, since business partners have a relationship that doesn't necessarily involve being friends, though I can't think of anything else to add/change at the moment. Maybe someone else can pitch in.
