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.
I don't think so. The announcement tools we have are only geared for high profile decisions which maintenance issues aren't. We'd need to have some kind of newspaper for what you propose, and that needs volunteers.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThere is/used to be a system where announcements were made that appeared in yellow/brown text to the side of the page. Or is that the one you're talking about?
Yes, that one.

Several times I've gotten notifications that a trope was now an index and no longer usable as a trope (such as Badass or Big, Badass Wolf).
Could there be some kind of wiki-wide announcement for when a trope's meaning/use is changed (or joins the PRLC, etc.)?
