The "sister trope" option was removed very early on because almost everyone who used it had no idea what a Sister Trope actually was. It generally came down to listing every trope that shared a Super-Trope, which defeated the purpose of having a categorization beyond Super-Trope.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

OK, that's cool then :) I didn't know said issues happened... to be honest I like to keep out of the forums/discussions/etc for the most part because I'm already in other social networks, and like reading and editing articles and contributing to namespaces for them, etcetera, when I'm here - I don't really like reading through (much less participating in) wank much and the forums seem to have a bit too much for my taste. :)

That said, would the enabling this for creator/artist pages as well as works pages be workable? Because I really see no barrier as to why not. The only potential issue I could see with that is an exploit involving No Such Thing As Notability (say, some guy who really got inspired by Guns N Roses comes on and links his two-bit garage band to Guns N Roses as a child) but that's one that could be dealt with if it happened.
