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.

"only one bullet point"?

  • Like this?

I thought the main problem with example indentation is people tacking on a second bullet level without dropping down the head bullet into the appropriate level...?

I also see lots of cases where editors tack their addition onto a new bullet point on the next level of indentation, instead of editing the above bullet to incorporate it into that. For example:

  • In Show X, Bob does this thing in that episode.
    • He also does it in that other episode.

Writing a text parser to sort out indentation intelligently would be terrifically hard in our current implementation. Instead, we have a design proposal for an entirely new wiki data structure which would remove the need for users to handle indentation themselves. It's a long way off, though.
