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.

You can see if a trope is NRLEP if the page has No Real Life as an index.

Does that work on works pages too or just the tropes?

Work pages can't be NRLEP because they're not tropes.

And we stress that editors should read the tropes they're adding and note any warnings.

Maybe you're suggesting a banner at the top of a page like with YMMV and Flame Bait that notes when a trope is in a restricting index?

Or maybe you're suggesting an automatic flag like when YMMV is put on a wrong page (don't see that one happening as it'll require the system knowing the release date to compare with)

Yeah, I don't know if this would work. Recognizing if something is a real-life examples requires context, which requires individual editors to locate the examples and make the call.

Sorry I should be clearer, I’d just want a way to know a trope is NRLEP when reading a work or creator page because that’s usually where the misused examples turn up (and for creators this where they’re likely to be potentially tools for harassment), but short of making it a flag ala YMMV, it might not be doable.
