You do a good job covering canon pairings, but I would like to see a discussion of alternate pairings, since they are quite prevalent. Before I'd seen/read all of CCS, an older ficcer convinced me that E/T are canon. You might also want to reference readers to good stories about the pairings, or add a few more notes as to where these pairings are confirmed (i.e., Rika gets a ring (MANGA ONLY apparently) during the first book or so, Yukito confesses that Touya is his number when at this point).
Interesting symbols for the relationships. They are easily interpreted, too.
I have all of the manga. Whatever information you need, you can ask me. ^_^
I'm not sure which alt pairings to discuss, which is why I didn't add a section yet... (also, I decided to take a break for right then because it was my third hour in a row on this. XDD;) like, definitely Eriol/Tomoyo, and probably Tomoyo/Syaoran, Eriol/Syaoran, Eriol/Sakura.. any others? I don't think I mentioned Tomoyo/Touya either.
Referencing good stories about the pairings would take a LOT of time to dig up a good one for each. ...I might start tomorrow XD
I'm glad they were easy to interpret! I was worried that they would be confusing.
Rika's ring is definitely manga only. Again, I'm working on more references and if anyone wants to help me, just pop 'em in a comment.
I was thinking that the quick guide I put here is an at-a-glance chart, and then for the people who can't have access to the whole series, I might actually just take out the asterisk section and put in an Extended Couple Explanation section which will describe the characters' relationship in detail. That would take another hour or three though.
Don't worry about paperwork, we all have those days.
Thank you very much!! ^_^
You know what, I think I missed mentioning Eriol and Syaoran's canon relationship. o_O Hang on, I'll add that. Yay, Syaoran hates Eriol and Eriol likes to antagonize Syaoran..
And definitely it will, I need to set one of my last couple of free days on writing out this alt and extended explanation section I'm planning.
As the rest of the people have said, you did really well on this! When you get around to it, the alternate couple section is going to be really interesting! Cause you can..almost...get away with pairing anyone with anyone. (Though I've yet to see an Eriol/Touya fanfic.........ew.....) <~ *made brain go boom*
This was actually really informative! And now I know how to label things correctly XD
I'm just mapping out a day when I can just sit down and do alt couples because I'm afraid. XDD It's easy to stay politically correct by sticking to canon, but once you go alt... the wank begins. D:
Most CCS fans seem pretty good though and I'm not really worried about a big argument or anything, especially with the people here. It's just hard not to leave anything out.. o_o;

I'm probably going to add an alt-couple discussion today or tomorrow, and then I think I will consider it complete.

All I can say is WOW, you covered most of what we'll be needing.
The citing of episodes for details was a plus plus. Kudos to you, claire_chan!
...Extended Couple Explanation section
sounds interesting. it will definitely spark discussions especially when it comes to their fanon pairings' so-called hints.
ps:
does Eriol x Syaoran count?
