So, we do have layout rules to how pages should be structured. I would suggest looking at that. All pages are structured in a similar way (e.g. a canon section detailing what happened to the ship, fanon explaining it's popularity/fan reaction etc, and a fandom section containing links to AO3, Tumblr etc. Then optional gallery, quotes and other sections.)

"Relationship" is not one of the sections, hence why it was probably removed. We don't have any specific rules for how canon sections should be written, we give freedom there, so honestly, either a narrative or relationship analysis approach is fine.

Frie is probably right at combining them somehow, or improving the existing one. I'm not sure. I do like your rewritten version more tbh, but then there is also nothing wrong with the original section so this is the difficult situation. Probably making adjustments/expanding the original one. Thank you for your response. I agree that it is difficult. Its also difficult to try and incorporate another person's work when that person's work takes a completely different approach. I feel that a combination of our works would create an inconsistent mess and even a bloated "canon" section.

I also know that I cover the game and the novel of the character's relationship, whereas the original author's work covers only the game. I say that out of curiosity if that is grounds for a rewrite.

Since you implied there is freedom, would it not be acceptable for me to rewrite the work with my own and see how the original author responds? If there is disagreement, then perhaps I could work with the original author to combine our works in a more concise manner.
