I know this is for the main character relationships, but shouldn't there be a page for Teen Girl Squad characters? I can think of many relationships for them (Cheerleader and What's her Face; What's Her Face and the Ugly One). And what about Cheat Commandos (Reynold and Gunhaver), or 20X6 (Stinkoman and 1-Up)? I don't know if these things would fit here, should have a new category page, or even deserves to have anything at all.

This Page

I feel as though we need a page like this. We already have a category, but like at Pseudocharacters. It has a categhory and a page. I think we should avoid the redirect and stick a normal page. User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man 13:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

So do I, but right now we lack a clean way to present the list of pages. We use DeFender1031's page to keep track of what pages do and don't exist, but while the chart may work alright for us editors, I don't think visiting readers would be inclined to explore a page like that. The category page seems to be the cleanest we have. — SamSF%20sig.jpgFisher (Come in, Lambert.) 13:35, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I see the page. It looks good. Should I use the sandbox example and use it for the page? User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man 14:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Wow, I was unaware that my page was actually used by anyone other than me... I'm touched. As for what you said, i disagree, i think the chart actually IS the cleanest method. It's clear and makes sense. Not sure it should be in the mainspace at all though. This is for a "See also" at the bottom of the relationship pages I assume? in which case I suggest a see also linking to the cat. A page such as this would violate once-and-only-once. — Defender1031*Talk 14:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I do like Defender's chart — the only drawback I see to using it in a mainspace article is that the high number of red links might make people think that those pages need to be created (most of them don't, like The Poopsmith and The Poopsmith's Relationship (unless we suddenly see a wave of introspective The Poopsmith toons)). I like Sam's test too, but honestly I think that the category might be the best way of viewing it: you can see it all on one screen. Just my opinion though. Trey56 14:12, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Hence why I said that it shouldn't be mainspace... although, once the project has been done to its fullest i could go through and comment out the non-existant links, replacing with N/A and we could always uncomment them if there does happen to be a series of introspective poopsmith toons... — Defender1031*Talk 14:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
On a related note, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Strong Bad's and Marzipan's Relationship article... wbwolf (t | ed) 15:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I have to say the page looks better than what I had in mind.</ego> But still, it'd be great if someone could find a good image for the page and clean it up wherever it needs cleaning (Obviously, the Poopsmith section should be removed, and I think Strong Bad and The KoT should have a relationship page). As for DeFender's idea of linking to the category, we should definitely do that. And as a final suggestion, I think a "Relationships" section should be added to each character's page. I'll get back to the Sandbox for an example. — SamSF%20sig.jpgFisher (Come in, Lambert.) 14:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

We also need to find a way of stopping people from creating Bub's and Strong Bad's relationship 5 times. Perhaps we should have an intro sentence like "The main relationships are listed below." – The Chort 15:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Yea, good idea. Also, there's a discussion regarding the naming of the pages over here. — SamSF%20sig.jpgFisher (Come in, Lambert.) 15:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Strong Bad's Relationship with Marzipan.

Genuine Hatred VS Sadistic In-Denial Crush (like Helga from Hey Arnold).

Dislike: Stealing her raddish in hopes of getting cash, telling her quite frankly in a botched answering machine prank that "This is Strong Bad & you're ugly," saying that he called all of the people he hated the least but that he was legal required to include Marzipan, requesting in several pranks that she flush her head in the toilet or run around in trafic at night dressed all in black, stealing her purse, there's one where he seems peeved that she showed up at his house unexpectedly, his reaction to Marzipan & the Cheat dating can be interprated as him finding Marzipan genuinely gross; how many times has he called her ugly? There was the time he, Strong Mad, & The Cheat egged her house, he's left messages claiming the deaths of Homestar & Pom Pom possibly in the homes of making her cry or at least leave her house, he left a message claiming to be her & said she was stupid & requested that she call herself Uglipan, he's always trying to get money or electronics & even free cable from her, he wanted to make her president of both the Goatfaced Club & Society of Total Dorks, he offered to give her a free million punches in the face, he's swayed others into leaving unsuccessful pranks on her answering machine, he bragged that he got her nothing for her birthday after spoiling the suprise of the Yellow Dello, he claims to have set a fax machine on fire in her front yard, he's suggested that she has a gigantic butt so big it has it's own congressman, & he said he'd like to see her get on the road again & get hit by a bus. Recently, he's called her Marzipole, made fun of her multiple times in a single email, fed her plants bleach & cigarette butts, & tried to drop a Piano on her.

Like: These are the hard ones to find. I remember him asking in a thick phoney accent "do you want'a my bod?" There have also been a couple of references suggesting he's getting private baking lessons with her. He did seem awfully jealous of The Cheat when he went on a secret hot date with Marzipan. Again, a reference to Helga from "Hey, Arnold!" only without the dramatic alone moments of regretting the tormenting. In his dating sim, he makes Marzipan say "Srong Bad is on-point." He left her an email claiming to have a real girlfriend, possibly hoping to make her jealous. There was an email where he tried to get Marzipan to say she liked him.

Perhaps it's a running gag that we're never supposed to know (& those are one of the coolest things about the series). The Dislike is landsliding, so feel free to add to the Like section.

I can think of many relationships for them (Cheerleader and What's her Face; What's Her Face and the Ugly One). And what about Cheat Commandos (Reynold and Gunhaver), or 20X6 (Stinkoman and 1-Up)?
