Other suggestions:
A "report" button for comments; the ability to make suggestions without having to post a message (I never know how to word things); two separate pages for pairings and friendships (but that's just me).

I feel like for some reason, having this "report" button would be somehow abused... Idk, I feel if regular users were to have this, then a troll could come by and just report every comment or something. Or, it would just be used excessively by users who try to defend themselves in the case that there is a troll. It could be useful in ways, but it's just me that it would cause more problems rather than solve them. I still think it's best to post a message about a comment, by also posting a link of the comment. (And I don't think everyone knows how to do this, but click on the date of the desired comment, and the page will refresh itself, but the URL will be slightly different as it is linked to show that specific comment, which will be highlighted, by the way.)
Separate pages for pairings and friendships in a way seems redundant, in my opinion. Take Auslly for example. Auslly is the cannon pairing in Austin & Ally, but it didn't start out would be a "pairing", just a "friendship". Well, unless you mean like the same gender pairings, such as Trally and Daustin... Nevertheless, I still don't think pairings and friendships should be two separate pages.
I agree that the report button could be abused, but I still think it would be a good thing to have. That way, users could have two ways to report, and choose whether to publicize their complaints. I feel like messaging takes away a bit of anonymity. In some ways, that can be a good thing - the admins will get a more specific idea of the scenario - but, in some situations, there may not be a need to be as specific.
I also agree that Auslly did start out as a friendship, but also feel that what a lot have come to know as Auslly is the pairing, and that, to some, it might be confusing to not have the two on different pages; likewise, with other pairings and friendships.
I think that if used properly and handled correctly by admins, it could come in handy. This is just my idea of how it would go: The report button would send an e-mail of sorts to an admin. I think it should probably say who actually set it, so if there actually is a troller, the admin could just delete all the emails sent by them without having to look through all of them. This would also be useful because if you can report an actual comment (aka a link to the comment), it's a lot more helpful than having someone write it's on such and such page and having the admins scroll through who knows how many comments.
I'm not exactly 100% sure about the actual meaning of the 2 ages thing. Whether you mean 2 pages for 1 pairing (like I page Auslly Friendship and 1 page Auslly pairing...), or calling one page one or the other (Like Auslly pairing and Trez friendship...). Honestly that idea in general, or the idea of calling something a friendship or not for whatever page probably isn't the best idea. This is mainly due to the fact that not everyone has the same opinion on a relationship as everyone else. For example, Trez is viewed as romantic and/or friendship/frenemies by different people. I'm not sure if that's what you actually meant, but that's how I viewed it.
I agree :)
Also, yep, 2 pages, 1 pairing ;) (I just think they should be separate. The ship name could be for the romantic pairing, and the friendship could be categorized by "[character's name] and [character's name]" instead (i.e., "Auslly" would be the romantic pairing and "Austin and Ally" would be their friendship)).
And, no problem :)
Oh okay. Now I understand what you meant by the pairing pages, but like I said before, information on pairings can be interpreted many different ways, and (in my opinion) it just seems a bit too controversial.
I agree w/ both sides for the report button. It would come in handy for users but I also feel like it would be abused. Not only that, but also, I feel like having a report button on all comments would just make the wiki look like some sort of punishment place instead of a fun place. We're here to have fun, not to have a bunch of trouble. And also, the report button is not something that could be easily done by admins, you'd have to ask Wikia to do this. And they usually do not support things like this.
I think pairing pages are fine in one. And also, if we did this, a lot of the information that would be on a pairing's romantic page would be the same as the information that's on the pairing's friendship page. The only difference between the two is how the information is interpreted.
