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.
Having the button display the number of total entries and change color when a new one is added would be great.
How about using the unread check marks used on the forums? Have it overlay the discussion button in maybe the top-left corner or something.
I don't know if this belongs on bugs, but discussion pages don't seem to appear in my watchlist, either.

So... is this idea going anywhere? 17 upvotes seems like a lot.
There is plenty of other stuff pending, so not quickly at all.

It could also be considered, if not a bug, then a regression, because I clearly remember the message "This entry has discussion." from the old days...
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
What @medinoc said. It must have gotten lost in update translation, but I seriously want it back.

Bump. I think bringing back "This entry has discussion" would be necessary, and 38 upvotes is quite a lot, isn't it?

This is the most liked wishlist request and it’s finally been done! Here are the updates to the discussion page that are awaiting review before being pushed live:
- Discussion button pulled out of “more” drop-down on media pages
- Discussion button will bold for logged-in users who have yet to see the latest discussion or latest reply if there is one.
- Follow functionality for discussion pages has been separated from main page and has its own separate follow button.
This 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.
Now monitoring Wishlist and Bugs
It would be nice if the button for the discussion page changed in some way to indicate that there's something there
