Tech Wishlist

Go To

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 familiar with average image sizes so i guess i'll just ask upper management how high, if at all, they're willing to go for images.

Is this also a problem with avatars, or no because they are much smaller?

I’ve not run into any size-based issues for my own avatars at least.

Yes, this is an issue with avatars as well. Some avatars are HD off-site but look terrible when uploaded here even if it's been resized to something smaller.

The maximum width for images on trope pages is 350. This makes large images with text illegible when wikisized. Can images' maximum width go up to 500 or 450 / 4 mb at least?

While at it, maybe wiki uploader doesn't have to compress images to 350p if it's going to wrap it into webp anyway. The forum uploader doesn't do that and seemingly has no upper width limit.

As for the size, I don't even have images above 3 mb despite downloading everything all the time, but this may need more people to check.

Okay they said its fine to up the limit to 5mb and increase the max width/height to 1000px.
