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.

A way for mods to edit those too, preferably. But the current messages at those two look fine to me (well, one of them says "You Know, That Thing Where" when it should have been "Trope Launch Pad").

For now i can just quickly fix the mistaken link to YKTTW and add the link to that directory to the faqs area?

I just plopped it on there. Should i put more of an explanation? https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_06_06_at_33355_pm.png

Something like "You can ask in this thread where certain discussions or cleanups are, it also has a quick list compiled".

This may need more than just my input.

I think it's a little off to have all of the links into the "click here" menu and have the directory by itself. The list says it has all of the resources for your questions. It makes more sense to have it be on the list but I don't think people actually read the list anyways soo

Anyways, yeah we need to explain what the directory is for because that is specifically for cleanup projects. Some people might think it's a general forum directory if we don't elaborate.

If we want to specifically mention the thread outside of the list maybe...

"For a list of resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread for ongoing cleanup projects."? I am not happy with the wording.

EDIT: Wishlist has a header using !! markup soo maybe we can just convert the click here list into a header and add the directory link to it?
