As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site.
Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it.
Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.
Important things to know:
- We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
- Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
- Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.
Seconding

Would also like to see the clip length somewhere. I like watching shorter clips and this would help me select.
I would like length-stamps too. Would help with approving, if I don't specifically have time to watch longer videos (or simply want to know how long a particular page will take).

Actually the video length feature was already requested here
.
I would add the feature to show the uploader's name/link which allows one to contact them for additional tropes or fixing other stuff one cannot do without the uploader (or tedious mod requests).

Ideally, any troper could add/remove secondary tropes, media sources, or change the description. It's how it works on every other part of the site after all.
TBH, as someone who now has the ability to edit these things... it's a mixed bag. Some of the things people request we add/remove/change are outright incorrect or rulebreaking, and unlike edits there's no way to tell who did what on a video so there's no way to get accountability if people go on some weird vandalism spree or something. I'm not sure it would actually help unless the video system is completely overhauled.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Yeah, I'd definitely need some sort of History feature for accountability at the very least.
Ya we won’t be allowing regular users to edit videos nor adding a history for them. But working on other improvements/fixes to videos will be my next priority after the What Needs Work Tool is live.
Make the ratings visible on the Videos overview. It's might be particularly interesting for the My Videos part.
