Yes, that's something that I thought about years and years ago! I never got around to actually doing it, though I thought I wrote it down somewhere, like on a talk page or a sandbox...but anyway, the problem with arcs is that Inuyasha doesn't fit neatly into arcs like other popular anime, it's just not constructed that way. You can make an effort at it, but even filler doesn't really follow any rhyme or reason. A lot of "arcs" come down to two or three episodes at maximum. Apart from the Mt. Hakurei arc, the rest of the series doesn't easily break down. But it's worth talking about.

As for relationship sections, I've never bothered much with them. They're usually pretty redundant, unless there's a character they have a very strong relationship with and there's lots to write about. So like, Shippo and Miroku: they spend 90% of the series together, and yet their relationship can be described in probably a few sentences. Being too rigid with how we organize that section, when the degree to which there are things to be written about in general, can lead to pretty stilted results. So I think it's fine to be flexible with it, where it makes sense. For instance, does Inuyasha deserve to be lumped in with the rest of "travel companions" on Kagome's page, even though he's her most noteworthy relationship? Not really; so he could probably warrant his own section. But in other cases, a relationship might be so brief that it could be grouped together with other, equally small blurbs without creating too much of an organization eyesore. At least, that's what I think--I'd have to look at it in practice to really decide for sure, but at least as I envision it in my mind, I think that approach would work better than a one-size-fits-all regime.
