You are being a good admin, but I think the whole point in this that I just want to point out that it would help publicising it, but the fact is that in my opinion, Joytricia or Poy is not a popular ship compared to other ships. Yes, it is probably one of the most popular femslash ships, but still gets no real recognition.

Example, out of four thousand stories in the FF archive, there are a mere 27 stories. Three of them aren't even Joytricia, but Peddie/Moy. Out of those 27 Stories, there are 10 Authors.

On average, each story gets around 6-7 reviews. We have barely any multi-chaps. The story with the highest amount of reviews had 34 reviews for 12 chapters, and I know that's not a lot because I have a story with 9 chapters that has 71 reviews. It's in the minor pairings above anything else. The fact of the matter is people will vote but the vote will just be people choosing a name, and not based on if they ship it or not.

And regarding the 'active' Poy wikia, it hasn't been updated in approximately 3 months, the last revision in September (which wasn't even a real edit, just adding a category). All I am saying is that statistically there isn't a very large following for this ship. I would be able to understand if the name of the ship was changed on something like Fabina or Peddie, but in reality, this ship isn't that large, and these edits to the article were done mainly by me because I sought improvement on the pages.

One more thing before I sort of leave this and I can tell I am sort of rambling now is the fact that a lot of people in the fandom prefer/use the name Joytricia over Poy. For example, Wheaty, prominent vidder in the fandom, uses the name Joytricia frequently. So does Ashley, runner of the blog -sibunahouse, a very very popular one in the fandom.

What I am saying is that the name Poy has sort of faded out from what I've seen, and that it shouldn't matter too much for changing it due to the fact it isn't too much of a popular ship.
