Two characters interacting in an AU for maybe 12 lines of dialogue is not a relationship. It's not even a canonical relationship. The dialogues will all be catalogued in their own section when we have access to the official translations, but in the meantime, there's just too much scope for unofficial translations to slip through the net when it comes to switching things over to the localization text. We had enough trouble with DRAE fantranslations, and that was just contained within DRAE articles; nearly all the DRAE pages are still full of fan translations that are simply incorrect. Characters' entire quote sections were entirely fan translated and had never been replaced until the last month, when I went through them, spending around 40 hours or so reading the entire DRAE script. The articles themselves still need a lot of care; V3 articles will be in the same position, because they are currently written entirely from a fan translation perspective, eith fan translated terminology and slang.

This close to release, it's simply just better for the wiki to put a temporary lid on it for now - as we have with the quotes sections on V3 pages - until we can better ensure the content on the wiki is official translations, rather than fan translations. The bonus mode content has a much wider scope that even DRAE ever did, covering not just a small cast but the pages of around 50 characters - not including characters who are referred to in cameo - and thus making it even more likely that fan translations will get accidentally left behind. That is our most major concern. It's much easier to add brand new, already localized text, covering a character's entire list of interactions, than check wiki pages meticulously to make sure fan translated bonus mode interactions haven't been left behind and fix mistakes. With so many having already been added, it seems almost inevitable that it will happen, which is why we've made this decision to put on the brakes. Bonus mode interactions aren't banned forever, only until we have actual, official translations, and handled properly, in an organized manner. It's a huge amount of data at the end of the day, and as volunteer moderators, it will take up a lot of our time to police if it's not compiled in an organized manner.
