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.
Recently, people have been discussing character tropes and plot tropes and which goes where on the wiki (e.g. only character tropes on Characters/ pages etc.).
So shouldn't we have some way of transparently marking which tropes are which? I'm thinking of the page type system, which currently lumps all tropes under the "trope" type. I'm not saying we need a new page type for every kind of trope, but if we could have a new page type for "Characters/ page preferred trope" — for when the trope ought to go to the Characters/ page if the work has such a page.
That or a banner but a banner would probably confuse people even more since atm only non-tropes get banners.
