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 believe pings don't work in queries or discussions either.
Edited by Amonimus TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupHow does pinging work in the forums exactly? Might be easy to copy over the functionality to all those places.
Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistIn the forums, you would use specific markup. This is what it would look like if I was pinging you, with spaces removed because something about it gets borked in demonstration:
~ @ / Kory
You just spell out the troper's name, and add the slash, tilde, and @ symbol. When done right, it sends a PM to the troper telling them to visit the thread.
Edited by WarJay77 Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallOk cool, it shouldn't be too hard then to get that functionality added to TLP and all query pages then. Added to list.
Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query Wishlist^ Queries too? Thanks a ton Kory! I know pinging in queries is something that's been wanted for some time.
Works That Require Cleanup Of Complaining | Troper WallThis wishlist query has been fulfilled. Check the Changelog
or the Wiki Talk Changelog Thread
for a full list of recent updates.
Please remember to like and bump any new or old wishlist queries you think deserve attention so i know what the community needs me to work on moving forward.

We should be able to ping users in TLP. A lot of commenters need to have the problems with their suggestion pointed out to them, but frequently they don't return to see responses to them on their own.
