Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.

workingCommenting out glitch with folder markup.
Commenting out [[folder:Text]] without adding a [[/folder]] below it seems to screw with the formatting of a page.

Edited by rmctagg09closedCreate your own query
This is odd, I'm assuming it's a bug. You can create your own ATT-style query by typing in the URL an posting. E.G. I created one (for research purposes!) at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type=jim
openOverly long TLP title messes up formatting of discard page
As seen here, overly long TLP draft titles mess up the formatting of the discard page. I tried trimming the title and that didn't help.
openFire Emblem Sacred Stones Playable Characters text missing
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/FireEmblemTheSacredStonesPlayableCharacters
The text for this page isn't appearing, despite still being visible in the Page Source. This occurred immediately after my latest edit to the page.
Edited by BlackBaronessopenPublic query forums popping up a private query warning
The following message, "The contents of this post are private, and are only available to certain tropers." just popped up on ATT and Bugs, both public query forums.
EDIT: Disregard. See this query.
Edited by Albert3105openPrivate queries visible when maybe they shouldn't be?
When there's a private query, there's a big old publicly-visible message in the query list◊ saying "this query is private". Given that it is private maybe this message should not be visible to people who can't see the query itself?
openTalk to the fist quote page
For some reason, the quote formatting isn't working for the last quote under Comic Books
openCut list appearance
Proposals on the cut list have "Requested by <user> on <date>." However, when not enough time has passed, it instead displays how much time has passed but keeps the "of" in the message, making the sentence grammatically incorrect. The "of" should be hidden when not enough time has passed.
openPage won’t save edits
I have been working on a Recap page for a fanfic series I enjoy but today when I tried creating another page it won’t save any of my edits. The odd thing is it is no longer a red link, but it will not save any edits I try to make to it, despite trying four or five times, and by all accounts it says the page still does not exist. Has anyone seen a problem like this or know how to fix it?
openProblem with Private Messages
Hey, everybody. I've been having a problem with the private message part of the wiki. Recently, I sent out a couple of PMs, and for some reason my mailbox automatically deleted them, even though I didn't request them to be so. I was told that it's been a bug we've been having. I was wondering if it had gotten resolved yet, by any chance.
openSpecial characters in TLP draft turn into question marks
Something is glitching with how the markup is saved in TLP, might be the same bug as the multi-line quote one. This time, however, special characters turn into question marks on edit, as the HTML codes for them in the source text get substituted with the character symbol they are meant to represent, which fails to render correctly from there.
openConflicting icon
I've noticed in the past that when a suspended editor tries to edit a locked page, the suspension notice pops up but gets replaced by the locked page notice almost immediately. To that end, I would suggest making a separate notice for such attempts acknowledging both their suspension and the general lock on the page.
openNamespace and redirect with a buggy period
The Archive of Bellicose Lexicon Entities has a bugged page in the JustForFun. namespace. Checking that page's source reveals that it uses a period as a namespace separator in the redirect, which seems to work fine elsewhere on the wiki.
Edit: Changing the redirect to not use a period fixed this.
Edited by N1KFopen"Please rotate your device"
If I try to navigate TV Tropes on Chrome, every single page gets interrupted by a full-page popup saying "Please rotate your device". Tiny problem: I'm on a computer, which has no means of detecting it's rotation in the first place.
Oddly enough, this doesn't occur on Edge, which runs on a base-code similar to Chrome, but does occur in the Steam in-game web-browser. It also only occurs on my computer, if I try to access the site on my phone, I don't get any kind of popup of this sort. Which is ironic, because it seems to be designed for a mobile browser and not a desktop browser.
Edited by GofastmikeopenFormatting nonsense
The formatting for the mobile version of this site just screwed itself, at least for me.
Nevermind I fixed it
Edited by Spideyopen"Whoops! Please Check your Email"
So I was on the forums just doing my thing when a random popup appeared prompting me to...check my email? TVT didn't send me anything, so I have no idea what this prompt is about.
In the related page for Trapped In A Dating Sim The World Of Otome Games Is Tough For Mobs there should be a listing for the page "Reborn as Villainess" Story but there is no listing.
Similarly "Reborn as Villainess" Story is used in the article Anime & Manga but the former's related page does not list it.
