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'm not sure how editing on mobile is more difficult than on the desktop, once you've memorized the Text-Formatting Rules it's kinda difficult to fail.
Though if there was something like this, it would be a great help. And it's not that difficult to do, the emoji picker on the forums work the same way.

Looks nice. 👍🏽
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααThat would be very helpful, because as it stands I can't correctly make '' marks on mobile. That means, for example, if I copy and paste previously written text on the site containing those marks, the formatting gets messed up.
^A delay, but I agree.
Also bumping to test out the query notifications that the admins and devs have updated, and hopefully the admins and developers would also notice this 🤞🏽🤞🏽
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααBumping this a bit, in consideration for mobile users.
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααThere's no real need to bump this when basically none of other suggestions are processed.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupPerhaps. I'm just hoping the admins would notice this.
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααThe admins don't look at this- the mods tell them what we want.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessFor the mods, is adding a text formatting toolbar a good idea, especially for mobile users?
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααSince the new features were added to the wiki, bumping this suggestion for the mods to hear.
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααHi, I'm a new coder for tvtropes and I've been going through the bugs and wishlist pages to see what i can help fix/change that will benefit the users the most. I wanted to know if you had any other ideas that would help users with edits like this? If not i can add this to my list of things to do next. :D
Now monitoring Wishlist and BugsThis one is a bit complicated, so I recommend, regarding the toolbar, to add buttons corresponding to Text-Formatting Rules one by one and checking how they add markup to cursor's position or wrap around highlighted text.
On related note, wondering if markup in the editor could be of different text style to differenciate it from regular text. Heard WYSIWYG editors allow it.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup^^ Welcome to TVTropes. I hope and pray so we'd have a good experience. I did have a few recent wishlist suggestions of my own. Hopefully those can be checked.
^ That is a good recommendation.
ααααααα|I DO COMMISSIONS|αααααααI wasnβt aware this toolbar was only viewable to mods and apparently slightly broken. So Iβm adding it to the list of edit fixes Iβm going to work on next.
Now monitoring Wishlist and Bugs
I have made this query before, but rather than necroing it, I would add some things, at the same time making my suggestions louder for the tropers at the back can hear.
Because many tropers are editing in mobile now, and since formatting rules differ from website to website, causing confusion, it would be nice to add a formatting toolbar with the most used formatting features for edits for the whole wiki.
