Tech Wishlist

Go To

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.

What do you mean? Why would there be edits that don’t change anything?

Various reasons.

  • updating the indexing on a page
  • adding an edit reason if you forgot to include one in your previous edit (or clarifying / making an addendum to a previous edit reason)
  • (for mods) getting a page to register again after using the page mover tool

And you’re asking that the edit reason only shows up once?

K. I’ll make it so small edits only show one edit reason. The duplicate was just a quick fix. It’s on the list but low priority.

^Around what size would a "small" edit be? Like in terms of the number of lines on desktop view?

I already fixed this. Sitting in review. I made it so only one edit reason is shown at a time.
