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.

Seems resolved as well.

This one's not resolved; I've had some images recently that I've had to add dead space to to make them tall enough to fit the 100px height requirement. This needs to be either changed to a smaller limit or done away with entirely.

The easiest solution would be to scale up the image in an editing software before you upload it.

^ That can cause a drop in image quality, and shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

Gonna bump this up, but was this resolved? I can't really tell because I never used the uploader during 2016 or 2018.

Ya im not sure if this is "fixed" either. I know i increased the upload limit in several places from 2mb to 5mb. I think i also enlarged how big avatars can be.

The uploader on wiki pages still has the minimum size requirement, but the one on the forums doesn't. (I used the forum uploader to add the image on Lies, Sisters and Wives.) Not sure about the avatar uploader.

The upload image button when you edit a page?
