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.
A third button may probably be excessive interface-wise. Random trope and random work makes sense for a casual reader, but random subpage button for the cleanup would have limited use-case and it'd be difficult to place.
It'd be probably best for now to make a tool page that lists N random pages according to filters, but changing how the main display looks will probably need more discussion.

^I dont agree that itd be particularly cluttered. Heres what the header looks like on mobile:
Theres pretty much exactly enough room to fit a third button on the most crowded display.

and here's what it looks like on my computer display, 1920x1080:
and my smallest possibly display, 600x800
Even the 800 width display seems to have more than enough room to me

I've never said it wouldn't fit in and I can see how much space is there myself. I'm saying that aesthetically I like free space, and it'd be taken by an element, the utility of which compared to the other two would need opinions from as many users as possible.
I guess it's subjective, personally too much space I find irritating but I can see why people would like it.

The Random Trope and Random Media buttons on the top of the screen will only ever send you to pages with a media namespace, or the "Main" namespace. It will never send you to a subpage like Nightmare Fuel or a trope that has individual pages for mediums. Sometimes I like to hit the random buttons to see if I can find a page without an image and correct it. The thing is, most of the pages that are lacking images/could use improvements are the subpages that the random buttons won't send me to. I understand that I could just click the namespace links on the page I arrive on, but this would speed things up a bit.
