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.

What prevents you from stating where it happens in the example itself?

Unless you mean an extension of the Note format into a Ref format like Wikipedia does source citations.

Hey, cool name! Yes I was thinking an extension of the note format. Like a 'mark-up' reference.

To be honest, it slightly bothers me that nothing requires verification like The Other Wiki and every edit is trusted at face value. Not sure where this cultural thing came from, but I wish most examples explicitly stated "In Chapter 6," or had footnotes, but I guess it would slow down the workflow.

Yeah I'm not sure how it would work with alternative editions/revisions either (or extended cuts to put it in tv/movie terms).
