Well, to start with, we need a boilerplate for the Related Tropes page. It should contain a table, which contains lists for supertropes, subtropes, and neighbor tropes (tropes that share a common supertrope). We'll dispense of the "parent"/"child" terminology, because I think that caused some people to be confused as to what it's about. We want everyone to know that All The Tropes is organizing them in a "general to specific" manner, NOT in a "this trope evolved/gave birth to this trope" manner. (Unless you prefer otherwise?)

We'll also need an icon for it (I can take care of that).

Finally, you or Vorticity can make a bot which automatically patrols Related Tropes subpages, and ensures the data matches up (all supertropes listed in Trope X's RT subpage should list Trope X as a subtrope in all the supertropes' RT subpages, and vice versa). It won't be as instant and automatic as whatever TV Tropes does, but it will suffice, I think.
