So I was going to just straight move this, but I figured I'd ask if other people had thoughts:

From Korrasami:

Book One

  • In Book 1, many see the scene in which Korra rides in Asami's race car as very shippy. More so the scenes before and after where after bonding, Korra removes the one insult ("prissy") she had used to describe Asami. On Asami's part there is her trying her dead best to become friends with Korra, and even after everything bad that happens to her, because of her friendship with Korra, Asami still states that she likes Korra.
  • Asami makes it clear to Mako her problem is not with Korra but with him for keeping secrets from her and not being honest about his feelings.

Book Two

  • In Book 2, when Varrick suggests that Asami smuggle weapons to the Southern Water Tribe to help fight against the Northern Water Tribe, Asami agrees without hesitation as this will both help Korra and save her company from bankruptcy. In contrast, Mako tells Raiko that Korra intends to go behind his back and get the United Republic Army to help fight against the Northern Water Tribe, thus hindering Korra's efforts to help her family which leads to their first breakup. While this is not quite a shipping moment it does show how far Asami is willing to go to help Korra, aiding in a war that the United Republic has stated that it wants nothing to do with, while Mako takes Raiko's side and tries to keep the United Republic out of the war.
  • It is made clear at the end of the season that Korra greatly trusts Asami.

This is plain Ho Yay. Yes, they do wind up getting together, but it's clear even from the examples that these are an Audience Reaction and not something intentional ("many see the scene... as very shippy," "While this is not quite a shipping moment..."). It's clearly a vestige of when this was on the Ho Yay page. Anyone mind if I move this back to Ho Yay?

I think you can do it if you want, as long as the examples are out there somewhere. Admittedly there are probably moments of ship tease listed in some works that weren't deliberate, but these ones definitely weren't.

Moved to the Ho Yay page. Except for the last one, because even by the ridiculously low bar we set for Ho Yay, that's meaningless.

It almost feels like Korrasami should have their own page, especially since it is canon.

That's a bit overboard. The reason ship tease already has its own page is because of them.

I know, but a part of me almost feels like there should be. Besides, this Ship Tease page existed long before Korrasami. In fact, Korrasami was on the Ho Yay page until last December.

My mistake, but there really isn't much point. As much as I love those two, devoting an entire page to one ship tease is unnecessary.

It was not completely serious, but I was throwing that idea out there. The amount of content they have certainly could reach page levels.

Somebody added the Korrasami spirit portal image from the last episode as the image. I think it's too much of a spoiler to use, but on the other hand it's not immediately clear that it's a spoiler if you don't know what you're looking at. Thoughts?

Isn't it not so much a "tease" as a "confirmation"?

I feel like Asami doing Korra's hair from the S3 finale would work quite well.

Personally, I think we should leave that picture. It looks beautiful, and it isn't a complete spoiler they are together unless you watch the scene in context. However, if you want to change the picture it can be a close up to Asami holding Korra's hand which would be seen as a romantic gesture.

However, I still think the picture could left here. Besides as the YMMV points out, Korrasami being canon is in 'Its His Sled' territory.

actually, you are right is not so much a tease... maybe the blush in the reunion episode could work better, is less ambiguous than the hair scene, yet still only a tease of the future relationship

That blush definitely sounds like a potential replacement, and it would definitely be better than the hair scene. After all, Asami was acting as Korra's caretaker, so the hair scene isn't nearly as strong of an example.
