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.
Problem I see is that italics are only appropriate for long work titles, short works need quote marks. How can a link tell?

Set italic titles for long work pages and quoted titles for short work pages.

Missed the question a bit: How is the software going to know what type of work a given link is about. Is there going to be some kind of index or flag for this.

When the whole sentence is italicized, the titles of long works are supposed to not be italicized. So even if the software could know when to format the title in general, there are still those instances where the title ought not to be formatted like that.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
That seems like something that could be easily remedied in the parser by having it check whether the sentence is italicized. The issue of which work should have italicized links is not so easy to mend, however.

Automatic italic titles for work pages, so that Literature/TheLordOfTheRings would automatically display as The Lord of the Rings.
