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.

This wish was bought up by ~AudioSpeaks2 not too long ago. Please see here.
This would be a character made in markup that would exclude the words preceding it in bracketed links. AudioSpeaks2 suggested $ and I recommended || — which will be used throughout the rest of the article.
Though that wishlist entry was closed for it being considered to lack overall benefit or advantage to implementing it, it also happened without there being time for reasonings being made as to why this would be of immense benefit.
So for starters:
Recap links — wouldn't have to have their entire name repeated in square bracket links just to exclude the franchise, season and episode number.
From [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E24AllGoodThings All Good Things]], to simply {{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E24||All Good Things}}.
Similarly:
Very long WikiWords that have redundancies: like Artistic License – Biology; if the work has multiple artistic liberties taken by the creators, it would just be nice to mention them as a sub-bullet-point simply by writing {{ArtisticLicense||Biology}}.
Or how AudioSpeaks2 pointed out:
From The Cameo to {{The||Cameo}}, just like Justified Trope can be trimmed when writing examples with {{Justified|Trope}}. But then there are a lot of tropes that have an article so we'll just mention that one.
Further:
Extremely long WikiWords that could use a bit of trim, like There Are Two Kinds of People in the World could be trimmed down to {{ThereAre||Two Kinds of People|InTheWorld}}.
Essentially, this would reduce the use of square bracket links just to use different phrasing and wording to link to a trope.
