Hey all,

Just wanted to let everyone be aware of a small change we're making on the wiki. Relationships pages such as "Knife and Paper", "Bow and Marshmallow" and "OJ and Salt" are being dissolved into their respective character pages.

This did appear on certain pages originally, like Taco's. We think it's a good idea to have this be the style to move forward with as to compact all the information needed about a character and their relationships onto one easily navigable page.

On every character page, a "Relationships" header will appear following the "Coverage" header. A secondary header will then appear with the character who the relationship is made from. They may be written as short as a few sentences and as long as a couple paragraphs.

These descriptions should typically be generalized and describe what the two characters feel and think about one another. You shouldn't be writing COVERAGES in every single interaction characters have, just ones that support their relationship.

Relationships may be positive or negative, but they must be notable, such as "Microphone and Taco" or "Lightbulb and Paintbrush". These relationships are depicted as growing and important to the series. If there is no notable relationship between two characters, say, "Microphone and Paper" or "MePhone4S and Tissues", then there is no need to write anything for them, especially if the two characters have never interacted. Even if two characters have interacted once before but it is not notable, it is not necessary to write about them.

Information on both characters pages may be very similar, though it may vary depending on which two characters are in question and their relationship.

For good examples of how relationships are written on wiki pages, take a look at some character pages on the Steven Universe Wiki, like Garnet's Relationships  or Pearl's Relationships.

Here is an example of how Relationships can look on a page, in this example: Taco's relationship with Pickle.

Pickle
Pickle cares a lot for Taco and is willing to do anything for their friendship. Taco returns the favor by working with him in most of the challenges, such as the challenge to find a coin in "Aquatic Conflict", the challenge to catch the eliminated contestants in "The Great Escape", and the challenge to walk across the tiles in "The Tile Divide". However, in "Journey Through Memory Lane (Part 2)", their friendship ends by Taco revealing her evil plan to get her into the final 2. When Pickle asks why she tried to make it far by acting weird, she interrupts by saying that he doesn't understand. In "Breaking The Ice", Knifefinds a letter from Taco, and Pickle says he doesn't need her "pity" and tells Knife to throw the letter into Apple's fire.

'TL;DR - No more relationship pages. Just write about characters' important relationships on their own pages in the designated sections.'
