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.
Restricting a search to a single thread (including a search by troper) would also be very useful, because we have some threads with thousands of pages!
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."^ Ah, so like how Something Awful does it with their "search posts by user in thread" feature? That seems like it would be a really great feature for the site as a whole.
I found my previous wishlist entry for that. with no changes since early 2016...
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."I was searching for forum posts related to Zee Tee from Eversion, and had to resort to using the Google Search and ignoring the trope/work pages because it was picking up every zee and tee and I couldn't find any way to restrict my search to the phrase "zee tee" within the new search, haha
Azure Mines is a Roblox game from 2016. The goal is to mine for ores and upgrade your base.
Being able to restrict our searches to a specific section of the site, such as all tropes, all work pages, or specific forums. Not only would this reduce server load, by not forcing the site to search across everything, it would also help filter out irrelevant results. I don't need to see a long-term project thread when I'm searching for something in the video game forum, for example.
To that end, being able to restrict searches to title only, or text only would also be useful. I might just want to look for a forum thread by name (such as a video game general conversation thread), instead of finding every post that mentions those words, even inside of another thread. Not having to search the contents of every forum post would also be more performance-friendly.
